Steering and Road Position for first-time test candidates in Northolt

How we teach steering and road position

Look well ahead, make measured steering inputs and use road markings and surrounding space to judge position. For first-time test candidates, the priority is being genuinely ready to drive independently rather than memorising a route.

• Steer smoothly through bends and turns
• Maintain a suitable position from the kerb
• Adjust position for hazards and road width
