Local Driving Tips
Start lessons by mastering the A65 through Guiseley, it is a common test approach and can be busy. Practise pulling out at Station Road and dealing with queues near the rail station during peak times. Work on roundabout technique at the junctions towards Yeadon and on mergings for the A658 towards the airport. School runs mean parked cars and narrow lanes at certain times, so practise slow, precise control and observation. Build confidence on short dual carriageway stretches before attempting longer test routes into Leeds.

There are nine instructors serving Guiseley, so availability can change quickly. Look for an instructor who knows Horsforth test routes and the A65 approaches. Expect prices around the local average of £34 per hour and ask about block-booking discounts. Check whether they offer mock tests on the actual Leeds (Horsforth) routes.
