Expect narrow High Street sections and tight farm entrances, so practise slow control and mirror checks. Hills around the village can hide junctions, so work on hill starts and speed judgement. When preparing for your test, ask your instructor to run mock routes that include the A21 junctions and any roundabouts towards Tunbridge Wells.

When your instructor thinks you are ready, book the practical at Tunbridge Wells and use instructor-provided car hire if needed.
