Local Driving Tips
Start lessons on quieter roads off the Promenade before moving to the A548 and town centre. Watch for pedestrians and cyclists near Marine Lake and around the main shopping area. Practice roundabout entries and exits, especially the busy junctions by the station and town centre. Strong coastal winds can affect vehicle handling on exposed stretches, so practise steady steering. Try lessons at different times to get used to both quiet and busy conditions.
