Local Driving Tips
Drive the A205 South Circular during lessons to get used to lane discipline and bus lanes. Practice hill starts and clutch control on Tulse Hill Road where the gradient can unsettle learners. Use off-peak times to rehearse tight residential streets around Hillbrook Road and to practise parking between cars. Stay aware of cyclists on Norwood Road and the frequent bus stops along Streatham Hill. Work on independent driving through longer junction sequences such as those near the station.
