What the driving is like around Buckinghamshire
Put the Buckinghamshire centres side by side and the road mix is busy high streets, multi-lane roundabouts, residential roads, ring-road roundabouts, retail and industrial approaches and mixed 30mph and 40mph limits. No single lesson plan covers all of it, which is why we prepare you around your booked centre rather than the county.
Route memorisation does not work here, and has not since 2010. Preparation that does work: repeated practice on busy high streets, multi-lane roundabouts and residential roads in the conditions your test is booked for.
Centre by centre — Aylesbury: busy high streets, multi-lane roundabouts and residential roads. Lane discipline on the ring road is where most marks are lost.. High Wycombe: ring-road roundabouts, retail and industrial approaches and mixed 30mph and 40mph limits. Signalling that contradicts the exit taken is a frequent fault on the roundabout-heavy sections.. Milton Keynes: grid roads at 70mph, roundabouts and estate roads. National-speed-limit dual carriageway is almost certain on the route..

Lane discipline on the ring road is where most marks are lost., Manoeuvres are normally set in quieter estates a few minutes from the centre., If your lessons have been in a different part of Buckinghamshire, plan at least a couple of sessions on these roads before the test., Signalling that contradicts the exit taken is a frequent fault on the roundabout-heavy sections. and Expect a spell at 40mph or more before dropping straight back into 30mph streets..
