Local Driving Tips
Start lessons early in the day to avoid the morning commuter rush on the A404 and Harrow Road. Practice hill starts and tight turns around Harrow on the Hill and Roxeth Hill where roads get narrow and pedestrian traffic is steady. Spend time on Wealdstone High Road to get used to parked vehicles and bus lanes, and on Kenton Road to practise lane discipline. Work on independent driving through signposts and satnav instructions, and rehearse roundabout exits near the A404 junctions.
