Local Driving Tips
Spend time practising on the A606 to get steady at higher speeds and lane positioning. Town centre streets have tight parking and parked cars, so practise bay and parallel parking near Scalford Road and the market area. Watch for farm vehicles and cyclists on country lanes, they appear without much warning. Roundabouts on the bypass need clear lane discipline, so pick a lane early and signal properly. Take a few lessons that include Asfordby Road and the ring-road to get used to the test routes.
