• Pick-up from work or home — wherever it's safe and legal to stop.

From quiet roads to test-ready in Trafford Park

1. Quiet start. Quieter industrial roads at weekends or early mornings, when traffic is light.
2. Lorries and junctions. Westinghouse Road and the estate's main roads: lorries turning, wide junctions and lots of signals.
3. Big roundabouts. Parkway (A5081) and the roundabouts around the Trafford Centre: lane choice and spirals.
4. Test-ready. Links to the M60 and independent driving to Sale test centre.
