Local Driving Tips
Spend time practising on the A96 dual carriageway, especially merging and keeping a steady speed, since you will meet similar roads on a test. Use Market Place and the one-way streets near the town centre for slow-speed control and hill starts. Expect farm vehicles on the B9001 and narrow lanes, so practise judgment and safe passing. Work on roundabout technique at the A96 junction and any signposted gyratory near the station. Plan lessons in winter conditions too, as frost and snow can change braking distances quickly.
