Practice joining and leaving dual carriageways at junctions near the Queensferry Crossing, as these come up on local routes. Work on roundabout technique at the Inverkeithing roundabout and clearance for cyclists on narrow roads. Watch for strong coastal winds when driving near the shore and be ready for gusts on exposed stretches. Try mock test runs that include the short trip to Dunfermline (Vine) so you know the route and parking.

Expect an average lesson price of £51, but hourly rates can vary with experience and lesson length. Ask potential instructors about pass rates for their pupils and whether they offer mock tests at Dunfermline (Vine). Choose someone who can get you comfortable on both quiet streets and the nearby dual carriageways.
