Local Driving Tips
Start lessons early in the day to avoid weekend summer traffic on the A259 coast road. Practice stopping and starting at the railway level crossing by Goring station, and get used to narrow residential streets near the seafront. Join the A27 with care when you head north from Worthing, and rehearse roundabout exits around Worthing town centre. Watch for strong coastal winds and parked vehicles near the promenade when learning bay parking or reversing.

Choose an instructor whose teaching style, transmission, location and availability suit you. We ask suitable instructors for their current lesson terms and show the exact price in the offer before you decide.
Getting Started
Apply for your provisional licence, then book and pass the theory test before your practical. Start lessons with a local instructor and focus on A259 and Worthing town routes you will meet on test day. When ready, book your practical at Worthing or an alternative nearby centre and make sure your instructor can take you through a mock test beforehand.
