Local Driving Tips
Start lessons on quiet residential roads and work up to the busier routes into Birmingham and Sutton Coldfield. Practise left and right turns at junctions and roundabouts you will meet on test routes, and rehearse bay parking in small car parks. Time your lessons to include a rush hour session, so you get used to heavier traffic and queues. Keep your observations sharp approaching junctions and roundabouts, and practise controlled stops on slight hills if you can.
Choosing an Instructor in Streetly
Choose an instructor whose teaching style, transmission, location and availability suit you. We ask suitable instructors for their current lesson terms and show the exact price in the offer before you decide.
Getting Started
Apply for a provisional licence, then book your theory test and hazard perception to get those out of the way before too many practical lessons. Start lessons with a local instructor and gradually add sessions on busier roads toward Birmingham and Sutton Coldfield. When your instructor feels you are ready, book the practical test at Birmingham (Wyndley) or a nearby centre.
