I need to improve my driving what’s best way.

Options

Advance lessons

 Driving instructor in my car

Driving instructor in their car



What I need help with


Driving on big roads with multiple lanes and roundabouts 


if  you in the wrong lane you end up straight on motorway there’s like 5/6 lanes on the same road  and roundabout it’s really hard to judge etc

Sometimes I have no choice but to use these routes to go to cousins etc,


I feel like I will never get hang of these roads, unlike other people I have very bad directions I could for example I been going cousins house since I was born and still need sat nav for it.

I need to sort this out, because I can’t afford to end up on motorway, it can be dangerous.



Coming off a slip road when it’s busy.


Struggle to judge if cars giving me way., also if there on lane or next lane is shoulder check best

    Sounds like you need something like motorway lessons and / or passplus:

    I understand most driving schools can offer this type of service, so don't be constrained to the link I provided if you feel someone else is more suitable for you.

    FWIW - my wife had some refresher lessons with the AA a few years back and found them very beneficial.
