Local Driving Tips
Practice the A22 London Road for confidence on faster traffic and junctions. Drive the town centre through the High Street and Station Road to get used to narrow lanes and parked cars. Spend lessons on pull-outs and lane discipline before attempting longer country roads with tractors and cyclists. Work on hill starts and clutch control on local inclines. Try mock tests that include route changes to mirror how examiners vary the course.
