Practise these patterns with your instructor before test day. Routes change, but the skills below come up often around many centres in this area.
-
20 mph zones
Typical slip-up: Creeping a few mph over the limit between repeaters.
Quick fix: Stay in a lower gear, watch repeaters, and keep speed steady.
