Meeting Traffic for first-time test candidates in Northolt

How we teach meeting traffic

Plan early, reduce speed and use safe gaps; forcing through a narrowing creates unnecessary risk. For first-time test candidates, the priority is being genuinely ready to drive independently rather than memorising a route.

• Identify which side has the obstruction
• Choose a safe passing place
• Communicate intentions through position and timing
