Local Driving Tips
Start lessons around Grove Park station to get used to traffic, drop-offs and one-way turning points. Spend time on Baring Road and the junctions near Downham Way to practise lane positioning and controlled stops. Work on hill starts and clutch control where there are small gradients on local residential streets. Fit a few lessons on the South Circular approach near Catford if your instructor can take you there for higher-speed junction work. Practise roundabout routines and left-right observation on quieter roads before attempting busier junctions. Time lessons outside peak hours to build confidence before tackling rush-hour traffic.
