Intensive courses start from the Matalan car park on Blackfriars Road. On day one, your instructor will take you to a quiet residential area to start with the basics like clutch control, getting into gear, breaking and cornering.
Once you’re ready, the roads you’ll meet include the Railway Road and London Road junctions, the Southgates roundabout and the narrow streets of the old town around King Street and the Tuesday Market Place, with parked cars, cyclists and pedestrians. Here you’ll refine the basics, learn to deal with hazards and practice signalling and manoeuvring.
The A47 southern bypass and the A149 Queen Elizabeth Way run around the edge of town, joined by large roundabouts such as Hardwick, where lane choice and faster traffic come into play. We’ll also visit John Kennedy Road and Edward Benefer Way, roads which lead out towards the north of the town. On this mix of roads you’ll get to practice joining, merging and travelling at greater speed as you gain confidence through the week.
The practical test centre is on Rollesby Road on the Hardwick Industrial Estate, a couple of minutes from the A47 Hardwick roundabout. Routes from here often combine the Hardwick junctions with residential streets such as Tennyson Avenue and Reffley Lane. These will be covered as part of your intensive week.
