As your skills develop, your instructor will guide you onto progressively busier routes including Southgate High Street, where you'll learn to navigate traffic lights, pedestrian crossings and bus lanes with confidence. The A111 Bourne Hill and Green Lanes both feature heavily in lesson routes, exposing you to faster-moving traffic, multiple lanes and roundabouts that replicate the conditions you'll face in your practical test.

An intensive course covers all these road types systematically within a short timeframe, ensuring you experience every scenario multiple times before test day.
