Test Tip Of The Month For Rugby

When on a test in Rugby, if you are asked to turn left at the end of the road, always listen to the next instruction carefully as you have three options. First is left onto the slip road before the roundabout. Second is straight across the mini roundabout, in which your position needs to be on point with no signals. The third is right at the mini roundabout, in which you will need to ensure your line is good to not take too much of the white circle away. Remember: always look right and don't focus too much on the traffic from the left, as they will be watching you but won’t stop if you don’t take your slot.

Useful Driving Test Tip For Rugby

Moving off with the handbrake on is a popular reason for failing your test. Many learners don't release the handbrake fully when moving off and then, 5-10 seconds later, the car starts to make a beeping noise. At this point, you have probably failed your test.

Frequently asked questions...

Yes, we do. Our automatic driving lessons in Rugby are great for those who have tried manual driving lessons and want to switch to automatic. They are also perfect for anyone who doesn't wish to learn in a manual vehicle. We do recommend that our learners try to learn in a manual to begin with. This is because if you pass in a manual you will be able to drive both manual and automatic vehicles.

If you wish to book in with an automatic instructor, our driving school in Rugby has a friendly office team who can help. Just give them a call on 0330 1244877 and they will pair you with an instructor who has availability that works for you.

Rugby is filled with trickier roads and systems to keep traffic moving. Although this may be daunting as a beginner, it will work towards your advantage when moving onto the intermediate and advanced level. As your test approaches, you can begin to tackle the famous town centre, which is filled with three lane roads such as Warwick Street and Dunchurch Road. Your instructor is likely to spend a lot of time utilising the A426 and Russelsheim Way ring road just south of the town centre, as there are many busy junctions, which allow you to join the dual carriageway.

When you start your driving lessons in Rugby with us, you will likely start in areas surrounding the city, such as Cosford, Long Lawford and Newton. Here, your instructor will build up your confidence before moving onto roads like the A426 and A4071. As your test approaches, you can begin to tackle the famous town centre, which is filled with three-lane roads such as Warwick Street and Dunchurch Road. Our driving instructors in Rugby are likely to spend a lot of time utilising the A426 and Russelsheim Way ring road just south of the town centre, as there are many busy junctions which will allow you to join the dual carriageway.

The Rugby test centre itself is west of the town centre on Somers Road, which is not only inside an industrial estate, but is also surrounded by residential areas. Beginning your test in quiet industrial areas is great because it gives you time to get comfortable behind the wheel, chill a little and ease off the nerves before you reach high-paced roads. When driving through an industrial estate, you must be prepared to give way to other drivers, so our driving instructors in Rugby will keep a particular eye out on your observation skills to ensure they are up to speed before your test. Many local test routes involve Leicester Road, which is based on the A246. Leicester Road includes a large roundabout, which is surrounded by large superstores and car parks, so if your test is during the day, keep in mind that this is likely to be busy. Alertness and vigilance will be key.

Yes, we have instructors covering most areas of the UK, meaning we also provide driving lessons in Coventry, Northampton and the surrounding areas.
