Local Driving Tips
Start lessons on the village lanes to build clutch control and slow-speed confidence. Move on to runs into Norwich and practise the approaches to Jupiter Road and Peachman Way. Spend time on roundabout entries and lane discipline, since multi-lane roundabouts can appear on tests. Do independent-driving practice using local signs and simple route planning. Ask your instructor for mock tests that follow the actual Norwich routes.
