Local Driving Tips
Practice crossing Marlow Bridge with cyclists and pedestrians in mind, it narrows and drivers must be patient. Spend time on Bridge Street and the High Street for parked cars and short, frequent stops. Get comfortable with the A404 junctions when you head toward High Wycombe; traffic merges quickly there. Use Higginson Park and nearby residential roads for low-speed control and hill starts. Keep an eye on cyclists along the riverside and be ready for pedestrians at Pound Lane and West Street.

Getting Started
Apply for your provisional licence and book the theory test once you're ready. Take regular lessons with a local instructor, practising town centre driving, river crossings and A-road sections toward High Wycombe. When your instructor thinks you're ready, book a practical test at High Wycombe. Keep some spare lessons before the test to polish any weaker areas.
