Popular Driving Test Routes In The Coulsdon Area
If you live in Coulsdon and are learning to drive then certain areas are likely to feature in your actual practical driving test route.

Understanding Pedals / Brakes Better
The role of the handbrake, foot brake and clutch pedal when it comes to stopping your vehicle temporarily can cause enormous confusion. When you stop at traffic lights, for example, is it best to use the handbrake and keep the car in gear, engage the clutch and accelerator simultaneously to keep the engine at “bite” point or adopt a completely different combination of actions?

Did You Know You Can Get A Speeding Fine On A Driving Lesson?

Best Times To Take Driving Lessons
Learner drivers generally fall into two groups: students taking their first foray into independence; and young professionals who never really saw the point of a car until their jobs required them.
