Local Driving Tips
Start on quiet village streets such as Main Street or around the market area to build clutch and steering control. Watch for tractors and farm vehicles on narrow lanes, especially at bendy junctions. Practice merging onto busier B-roads before heading towards Bridlington, and get comfortable with town junctions and pedestrian crossings on approach. Coastal weather can change visibility, so practise driving in breezy or damp conditions. Work on parking and bay park manoeuvres, since test routes often include town centre parking areas.
