Local Driving Tips

Market Place and adjacent side streets are good for low-speed manoeuvres and observation checks. Try local country lanes at different times of day to get used to farm traffic and cyclists, and watch for narrow pinch points. Practice roundabout approaches and lane choice before you head out to larger junctions near Stamford Bridge or the A1079 junctions.
