Local Driving Tips
Start your lessons in town to get used to narrow streets and parked cars. Practise junctions and right-of-way at busy junctions and roundabouts before moving onto faster A-roads. Spend time on parking and bay manoeuvres near the town centre as testers often check those skills. Book some lessons that take you to Cheltenham so you see typical test routes and timing. Try a few longer lessons when you feel ready to work on independent driving over 20 minutes.
