Local Driving Tips
Start lessons on quieter residential streets before moving to busier high streets. Practice around Leytonstone High Road to get used to bus lanes, junctions and pedestrian crossings. Work on junction observation and gap selection, as traffic can be dense during rush hour on routes heading toward the A12. Learn to manage bus and cycle lane rules and practise parking in short bays near shops. Book mock tests at the same times as your real test to simulate local traffic patterns.
