Benefit for Learners: Navigating this long stretch requires excellent lane discipline, constant hazard perception, and the ability to handle stop-start traffic effectively. You'll gain extensive practice in urban driving, including recognising bus lanes, dealing with parked cars, and understanding complex traffic light sequences.
COASTAL ROAD DRIVING (A921 ESPLANADE)
