Bickley Instructor's Tips

Be Mindful of School Zones: Reduce speed and stay vigilant near schools in Bickley, especially during drop-off and pick-up times, as children may cross the roads unexpectedly.
Navigate Residential Roads Carefully: Bickley’s residential streets are often narrow and tree-lined. Maintaining a safe distance from the curb and parked cars helps you navigate these spaces more effectively.
Watch for Pedestrians: Popular areas like Jubilee Country Park attract many walkers, so remain alert for pedestrians near entrances and along pathways.
Adjust for Weather Conditions: Rain and occasional frost during winter can impact driving. Use appropriate headlights and increase your following distance in wet or icy conditions.
Practice Parking Skills: With limited parking in some areas of Bickley, practicing parallel and bay parking will boost your confidence when handling tighter spaces.
Know Your Routes: Familiarize yourself with Bickley’s roads and any local shortcuts, especially around high-traffic areas like schools and recreation grounds.
Use Roundabouts Safely: Bickley includes several small roundabouts. Always yield to traffic on the roundabout, signal clearly, and stay aware of others’ movements.
Stay Aware of Cyclists: Bickley’s roads are frequently shared with cyclists, so maintain a safe distance when passing them and remain cautious on narrower streets.
