Local Driving Tips
Start lessons on the quieter lanes heading south from the village to build car control and comfort. Practice pulling in and reversing into farm gateways, as you will see these often on local roads. Spend time on the approach to the A303 junction so you can judge gaps at higher speeds. Use short runs towards Yeovil to practise roundabout maneuvering and lane discipline. Expect parked cars on village streets and slow tractors on main local routes, so plan patience into your drives.
