Spend early lessons on hill starts and slowing for narrow lanes around Holcombe Hill, they catch learners out. Practice joining and leaving Bury town centre in peak times, and get comfortable with roundabouts on approaches to the town. Take a few lessons on dual carriageway and A-road work so you are steady on faster stretches towards Manchester. Do mock tests that replicate leaving from Greenmount and heading into Bury to build route confidence.
