On day one our intensive courses start at The Chase car park on Newtown. On day one, your instructor will take you to a quiet residential area to start with the basics.
After you’ve got to grips with starting, stopping, turning and changing gear you’ll head back towards town. Here you’ll meet the one-way streets and mini roundabouts in the centre, junctions on London Road and Mundford Road, and parked cars. They’ll also be time to practice basic manoeuvres and deal with emerging hazards.
Once you’re comfortable e move onto the A11 where the dual carriageway bypasses Thetford, with several roundabouts giving access to the town, here signalling and manoeuvring will be practised. This is the main road for practising higher speeds and joining faster traffic.
We’ll also cover the A134 towards Bury St Edmunds and the A1066 towards Diss which are single carriageway roads with bends, forest junctions and lorries. These will sharpen your hazard perception and help you gain confidence.
Most learners test at Bury St Edmunds, about 12 miles south along the A134, so your instructor can build that route into the week’s driving course.
