A few months back i posted about how i was worried regarding my diabetes and my medical, i got an email from the bosses yesterday and they have cleared me to apply for my licence, so ive paid the £263 search fee but i was wondering, what is the best way to prepare for my knowledge test in relation to road names in the borough, does anyone have any tips or tricks when it comes to learning them?

See if there is a local knowlegde school. If there is join it as you will be advised the best way to learn the local knowledge, and you will also meet other prospective drivers.

If not then you need to know exactly what the council will test you on, and then concentrate on that.

I suspect the test will involved places of interest, i.e. hotels, large offices, markets etc.

I'm certain you will succeed and I'm really please you passed the medical checks.
