Watch Out For

• Edgware Way. Dual carriageway at 50 mph. You must build up speed confidently when joining. Driving too slowly here can be marked as a serious fault for impeding traffic.
• Mill Hill Broadway. Busy high street with buses, pedestrians, and parked delivery vehicles. Multiple traffic lights in quick succession require good observation and anticipation.
• Windsor Avenue / Edgwarebury Lane. Residential streets near Edgware with speed humps and parked cars. The 30 mph to 20 mph transition catches out many learners.

Key Tips

• On the Edgware Way dual carriageway, reach 50 mph promptly and hold your lane. Check mirrors early before moving back to the left lane after overtaking.

• At the Booth Road area, watch for school-run traffic during morning test slots.
