Local Driving Tips
Start lessons on quiet residential streets to get clutch control and steering right before moving onto busier approaches out of town. Practise joining and leaving roundabouts and junctions on routes towards Rugby, as these are common on test routes. Expect short bursts of faster roads when you head towards nearby centres, so work on lane discipline and mirror checks. Parked cars and narrow lanes can crop up in older parts of town, so include slow-speed manoeuvres in your practice. Ask your instructor for mock tests on local routes to build confidence.
Choosing an Instructor in Lutterworth

A local instructor who knows Rugby test centre routes can help focus your preparation.

Getting Started
Apply for your provisional licence online or by post, then book and pass the theory test before a practical test. Start lessons with a local instructor and build up to full mock tests on routes out towards Rugby. When you and your instructor agree you are ready, book your practical test at Rugby or a nearby centre such as Hinckley or Coventry. Keep a record of your lessons and practice between sessions to speed up progress.
