Start your lessons around quieter times to avoid school runs and market traffic. Work on manoeuvres in low-traffic side streets before tackling busier junctions. Practice independent driving so you can follow sat-nav prompts and local signage under pressure. Get comfortable with parking in the town centre as many test routes include bay or parallel parking. Build experience with short A-road stints so you can join faster-moving traffic when needed.
