Local Driving Tips
Start lessons away from the High Street and build up to the Hampton Court Bridge approach where traffic can back up. Practice mirror checks and selective positioning before the roundabout at the A307 junction. Expect cyclists and pedestrians near the river, so give them time and space. Work on hill control and junction observations in the residential streets to the west of the station. Try mock tests that include the short dual carriageway sections found on some routes out of town.

Once you pass theory, book a practical at Ashford or Tolworth and aim for regular mock tests beforehand. Expect to adjust lesson frequency if you want to speed up progress or focus on specific weaknesses.
