Start lessons on quiet residential streets off Reckleford to get steering and observation right before tackling the A30 or A37 junctions. Watch for agricultural vehicles and narrow lanes when you head out to surrounding villages, especially after rain. Practice roundabout approach and lane discipline at West Hendford and the hospital junction. Work on lane positioning and safe gaps when joining the A30 eastbound.
