Local Driving Tips
Start lessons on quiet village lanes and work up to the A3 slip-roads for dual carriageway practice. Watch for narrow bridges and passing places on country roads, and expect cyclists and farm vehicles at certain times. Practice roundabout approaches and lane discipline before heading into Guildford town centre. Learn clutch control and precise observation for slow manoeuvres near the station and local shops. Book a few lessons that take you through both rural and busier stretches so you are ready for whatever the test brings.
