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.
