Local Driving Tips
Practice slow, accurate steering on narrow lanes that often have hedges or stone walls close to the road. Watch for farm vehicles and tractors on country roads, and be ready for sudden slow-moving traffic during the day. Try some sessions that head into Barnstaple so you get used to roundabouts and busier junctions before your test. On windy days expect crosswinds near coastal sections and adjust your steering accordingly. Parking in village streets can be tight, so practise bay and roadside parking on quiet roads first.
Choosing an Instructor in Georgeham

Practise the likely mix of rural lanes and town junctions ahead of the test.
