What Learning to Drive in Farnham Is Really Like
Farnham is an old market town, and its roads were not built for cars. The centre is a tight one-way system of narrow Georgian streets where you are constantly judging gaps, giving way and watching for pedestrians.
Then, two minutes away, the A31 bypass is a fast dual carriageway. Learning in Farnham means getting good at slow, precise driving and quick, confident driving in the same lesson.
The town-centre one-way system
The Borough, Downing Street and South Street. Narrow lanes, tight turns and plenty of crossings.
Hickley’s Corner
The traffic-light junction on the A31 bypass. Busy at most times of day and a good test of lane choice.
The station level crossing
One of the few level crossings in the area — worth practising so you know exactly what to do when the barriers come down.
Where do Farnham learners take their driving test?
Farnham has no test centre of its own. Most of our Farnham learners test at Farnborough, with Guildford as the alternative, and we make sure you have driven the roads around whichever one you book.
Are Farnham’s narrow streets a problem for learners?
They take practice, but they are worth it. Judging width and giving way in the town centre builds exactly the awareness examiners look for on residential roads.
