Local Driving Tips
Start lessons on quiet side streets off Yorktown Road and work up to Farnborough Road junctions when you are ready. Practice roundabouts near the town centre and the busy mini-roundabouts where A321 meets local roads. Watch for commuter queues heading towards Farnborough at peak times, and practise bay parking and reversing in local car parks near the college. On test days, be calm on the stretch toward the A321 and take extra care approaching give-way junctions on College Road.
