Local Driving Tips
Practice roundabouts on the routes off High Street and around the Black Country Route, they come up often. Work on observations and lane discipline where A-roads meet town streets, for example at junctions towards the M6 J9. Slow down early on narrow residential roads and watch for parked cars. Build confidence on dual carriageways before attempting independent driving sections of the test.
