Local Driving Tips
Start lessons on quieter streets off Tolworth Broadway before moving onto the A3 approaches. Practice merging and lane discipline for the Tolworth roundabout and the Hook junction, both of which appear on tests. Expect buses and cyclists around the Broadway and pay close attention to bus lane signs. Work on bay parking near the shopping parade and hill starts near the station if your route includes them. Rush hour brings heavier traffic towards Kingston and the A3, so schedule lessons at different times to build experience.
