Practice joining and leaving the M57 and M62, as those stretches are common on test routes. Watch for parked cars and narrow lanes in older parts of town where visibility can be limited. Work on roundabout technique and lane discipline for approaches to motorway junctions. Plan lessons at different times to get used to rush-hour traffic heading towards Liverpool and Widnes.
