Tips for passing at this centre

✓ Book at least one lesson specifically on the Coast Road at A-road speeds before testing
✓ The Gosforth High Street one-way system trips up learners who haven't driven it before — practise it directly
✓ Roundabout positioning at Kenton is a common minor-fault point; get explicit drilling on lane choice
