Local Driving Tips
Start lessons on quiet residential streets to build clutch and steering control before moving on to the A921 and the M90 approaches. 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.
