Local Driving Tips
Start lessons on the quieter residential roads off Garstang Road to build control and slow-speed manoeuvres. Move onto the A6 for junction practice and longer lane discipline work, since the test often includes higher-speed sections. Practice roundabouts near local shopping areas and rehearse turning into Tesco or local parade car parks to get comfortable with positioning. If you can, ask your instructor for a mock test drive to Preston centre so you know the exact routes and parking spots.

Apply for your provisional licence online or by post before you start lessons. Book and pass your theory test, then begin practical lessons and mock tests with an instructor who knows Preston routes. When you are ready, book your practical test at Preston test centre, which is about 1.9 miles away.
