This course is suitable for all drivers wishing to improve their driving, not just learners taking a driving test. Although country lanes appear to be pretty, they have several hidden dangers. This DTC automatic driving course in country lanes goes through all the possible hazards that may appear on a country road, and more importantly, explains how to deal with them.
So that learner drivers do not spend all their time stuck in traffic, driving test centres in the UK are either located on the outskirts of large towns or in rural areas. This also gives the examiner access to as many diverse road types as possible. Most driving test centres will incorporate rural country lanes and villages.
