Local Driving Tips
Expect narrow lanes and parked cars when you practise in the town centre, so work on positioning and mirror checks. Use the A362 to build speed and join longer road sections that mimic test conditions. Practise hill starts and clutch control on steeper approaches out of town. Get comfortable with common hazards on market days and at junctions where visibility is limited. Book lessons that include at least one run to Trowbridge to learn the likely test approaches.

Getting Started
Start by applying for your provisional licence, then book and pass the theory test before your practical. Take lessons locally, and include sessions that drive the 7.4-mile route to Trowbridge so you know the test approach. When ready, book your practical at Trowbridge and make sure your instructor accompanies you for the route rehearsal.
