Hartlepool: the things that catch learners out
Lane discipline on the ring road is where most marks are lost., Expect a spell at 40mph or more before dropping straight back into 30mph streets. and If your lessons have been in a different part of Hartlepool, plan at least a couple of sessions on these roads before the test.. None of that is a route, and none of it is a guarantee — it is what comes back from instructors teaching these centres week in, week out.
