Local Driving Tips
Start lessons on Martock High Street to build confidence with parked cars and narrow sections. Progress to the A303 for higher-speed merging and overtaking practice before you tackle Yeovil test routes. Pay attention at the junctions on the approach to Yeovil, and practise left and right turns from busy roads. Roundabouts near the test centre can be trickier when traffic backs up, so get comfortable with lane choice and signalling. Wet weather can make lanes slippery, so leave a bit more space and brake earlier.

When ready, book your theory and then a practical test at Yeovil, which is the nearest DVSA centre at about 4 miles away. Pass your practical test and you will get your full licence.
