Terraced streets with cars parked on both sides
Meeting oncoming traffic, deciding who gives way, and judging clearance. It is one of the most common reasons learners hesitate on test, and Heaton has it on every other street.
Osborne Road and Chillingham Road
Shops, bus stops, pedestrians stepping out and delivery vans. Good practice in scanning and adjusting speed early.
