What the driving is like around Rhondda Cynon Taf
Put the Rhondda Cynon Taf centres side by side and the road mix is city streets, ring road, suburban estates, dual carriageway slip roads, town-centre one-way loop and quiet crescents for manoeuvres. 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 city streets, ring road and suburban estates in the conditions your test is booked for.
