Expect a quieter setting for early lessons, with more traffic as you approach town.

Local Driving Tips
Start lessons on quiet residential roads and work up to the busier approaches toward Redhill. Practice pull-ups and observation near the station and village green where visibility can be limited. Spend time on hill starts and narrow lanes to build confidence. Get comfortable with roundabouts and junctions you will meet on routes out of the village. Book a few longer lessons that include the route to the test centre so you know where to expect changes in speed and road layout.
Choosing an Instructor in Hurst Green
Choose an instructor whose teaching style, transmission, location and availability suit you. We ask suitable instructors for their current lesson terms and show the exact price in the offer before you decide.
Getting Started
Apply for your provisional licence before you start lessons and carry it to every session. Take regular lessons with a local instructor and book the theory test when you and your instructor agree you are ready. After passing theory and hazard perception, book the practical test at Redhill Aerodrome, around 6.5 miles away, and plan practice runs to the centre beforehand.
