Learning to drive in Dagenham

Lessons usually start on the calmer streets around the Heathway before progressing to the routes that build real skill. The Heathway itself, the junctions along the A13, the roads near Dagenham Heathway station and the approaches toward Becontree all need solid practice, and your instructor will work each with you. The A13 gives safe, supervised dual-carriageway experience.
