Here is the sort of driving the local routes involve, and what we make sure you have covered before test day. ## Driving out of West Wickham (London) A test out of West Wickham (London) is shaped by the roads around it: dense residential streets, bus lanes and multi-lane junctions. Because those road types sit close together, you can meet three or four different demands inside the first ten minutes of the drive. Bus lane timings and cycle lanes both feature; check the signage rather than following the car in front. Traffic density changes sharply by time of day, so ask your instructor about your slot. If your lessons have been in a different part of Greater London, plan at least a couple of sessions on these roads before the test. West Wickham (London) draws candidates from across Greater London, so a good share of learners arrive having practised somewhere with a different road mix. Where that shows up is in the first five minutes of the drive, which is exactly where a nervous start costs marks. Test day should be the least interesting drive of your course. Everything above is how that happens. ## Roads you are likely to meet Dense residential streets Bus lanes Multi-lane junctions - Bus lane timings and cycle lanes both feature; check the signage rather than following the car in front. - Traffic density changes sharply by time of day, so ask your instructor about your slot. - If your lessons have been in a different part of Greater London, plan at least a couple of sessions on these roads before the test.
