What’s It Like To Drive Around County Durham?
County Durham combines busy town driving in Durham and Darlington with steep residential streets in the former mining towns, plus quieter country roads and faster routes across the Durham dales. You’ll also meet dual carriageways and large roundabouts as you travel between towns and out towards Teesside. On an LPOD intensive course we focus your practice on the roads and manoeuvres you’re most likely to meet on test day across County Durham.
