North Berwick is a coastal town where learners meet narrow streets, tourists, cyclists and summer crowds. The High Street and the roads down to the harbour are busy and often parked-up, so patience and observation are central to lessons.
The A198 coast road to Gullane and Aberlady and the A1 are used for faster, more rural driving with bends and speed-limit changes. It's a very different learning experience to the city, and arguably a more relaxing one.
North Berwick learners commonly test at Haddington or Musselburgh.
