Local Driving Tips
Expect a mix of narrow village streets and busier approaches when you leave Milford. Practice slow-speed control and accurate observation, as residential roads can be tight. Spend time on roundabouts and junctions on lessons towards Guildford to build confidence. Try lessons at different times to experience both quiet periods and peak traffic. Work on independent driving and navigation, since test routes often include short navigation sections.

Choose an instructor whose teaching style, transmission, location and availability suit you. We ask suitable instructors for their current lesson terms and show the exact price in the offer before you decide.
Getting Started
Apply for your provisional licence before your first lesson. Work on the theory test while you build practical skills with an instructor. When your instructor says you are ready, book a practical test at Guildford. After you pass the practical test you will receive your full driving licence.
