Local Driving Tips
Start lessons on quieter residential streets before moving onto the A602 and the slip-roads to the A1(M). Practise the town-centre roundabouts and one-way systems around the Howard Centre and Fairlands Way, they feature on a number of test routes. Time lessons outside peak hours if you want calmer dual carriageway practice, and get used to the industrial traffic on Gunnels Wood Road. Keep an eye on cyclists and pedestrians near the station and shopping areas, and rehearse reversing into bays at common test locations.
Choosing an Instructor in Stevenage

Getting Started

When you are ready book a practical test at Stevenage test centre, which is roughly 0.8 miles away, and use local route practice to prepare.
