I’m considering training with Pete Smythe and the title of this thread is is a concern I also have. It’s hard enough to negotiate my hometown never mind a new, larger, more congested town or city.
Also, if I was to fail how quickly could I have a retest or would I have to arrange another visit?
I live in South Wales and found Peter Smythe Training through this group. I did my Class C and Class C+E with them, and if anything, I would say training in an area that I’ve never been in was an advantage for me. It meant I was seeing the road signs for the first time, and as a result, I was making a concerted effort to take in all the info that each road sign was giving me. In an area you are more familiar with, I find that it is easy to miss information on signs you have seen many times. Autopilot I guess.
Retest times will depend on the availability that PSTT have at the time I would assume, but they would be best placed to answer this question. I paid extra for the pass protection on my C+E course and I did feel that this helped relax me, even though I didn’t need to use it for a 2nd visit
