Local Driving Tips
Start lessons on quieter residential streets off Admiralty Road to build clutch and mirror routine. Move on to the A985 for junction practice and to get used to faster traffic and lorry movements near the dockyard. Use short trips towards Dunfermline to rehearse the test route, including the roundabout at the M90 junction. Practice dual carriageway merges on the M90 slip roads and the approach to the Queensferry Crossing at off-peak times. Watch for sudden coastal fog in the mornings and for cyclists on narrow lanes near the waterfront.
