Early morning appointments can be quieter, making it easier to navigate complex areas. Be prepared for changing weather conditions, especially in winter, which can affect driving conditions. Practice roundabouts and hill starts, as these are frequent on the test routes. Remember, local roads often have parked cars and cyclists, so stay alert. Avoid rushing through the test; smooth, controlled driving usually scores better.
