How to Pass Your Driving Test at Melton Mowbray
Expert Tips
- 1
Practise roundabout technique at dual carriageway intersections where approaching traffic moves quickly.
- 2
Get used to crosswinds on exposed flat roads, keeping a firm but relaxed grip on the steering.
- 3
Practise maintaining concentration on long, straight roads where the temptation to lose focus is real.
- 4
Practise judging the national speed limit on open roads. Going too slowly can be as much a fault as exceeding it.
- 5
Practise responding to unexpected hazards such as animals or debris on the road.
