Start lessons practising hill starts and clutch control, as some approaches into town include slopes. High Street and Castle Square have tight turns and pedestrians, so practice slow control and observation. Use the A49 for faster junction practice and get used to dual carriageway joining and overtaking. Market days bring extra parking and pedestrian activity, so include a lesson that covers busy Saturday conditions. Country lanes around Ludlow are narrow with blind bends, so learn proper lane positioning and anticipation.
