Local Driving Tips
Start lessons on quiet residential streets such as those off Mill Hill Broadway to build clutch and steering control. Move on to The Ridgeway and Bittacy Hill for hill starts and busier junctions. Practise joining and leaving the A1 where traffic flows faster, so you get used to higher-speed observation and mirror checks. Spend time at the main roundabouts near Mill Hill Circus to practise lane discipline and signalling. Try short runs to Mill Hill Broadway station to rehearse bay parking and reversing in confined spaces.
