Time your lessons to include peak periods so you can handle local traffic and pedestrian crossings. Work on roundabout entries and exits, since local junctions can be busy during rush hour. Remember that short trips to the test centre mean fewer unknowns on test day, so a final short lesson nearby can help settle nerves.
