Lessons start at Newport railway station on the edge of the city centre.
On day one, your instructor will take you to a quiet residential area to start with the basics such as pulling away, changing gear, stopping and turning.
The roads near the station include the Old Green interchange, Kingsway and Usk Way, where multi-lane traffic and traffic lights meet in a small space. You’ll cover these areas once your confidence has built.
Newport follows the Welsh default 20mph limit on most built-up roads, with a few main roads returned to 30mph, so spotting limit changes is part of every lesson, as is careful control of the clutch and changing down and up in lower gears.
The A48 Southern Distributor Road crosses the River Usk on City Bridge and links to the M4 at Coldra and Tredegar Park, with faster sections and large roundabouts. These roads will allow you to build confidence later in the week with driving at speed, overtaking and merging.
The practical test centre is on Stephenson Street, off Corporation Road in Liswerry, on the east side of the city. Routes often use Corporation Road, Chepstow Road and the Southern Distributor Road. These routes will form part of your test week.
