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.
