Local Driving Tips
Start lessons on quieter stretches close to the village, there is less pressure than on main roads. Practice hill starts and tight turns, as local lanes can be narrow and have hidden entrances. Build confidence for busier driving by practising the short trip into Weston-super-Mare, where roundabouts and examples of faster A-road driving appear. Learn to read passing places and farm vehicle movements, they are common in rural driving. Work on reversing and bay parking, parking space is often limited around the village centre.
