Local learning integrates very early motorway driving, with sustained 130 km/h entries and exits on straight sections. In a medium-sized town like Pau, candidates learn to navigate one-way streets, central car parks and town entrances often congested at peak hours. Repeatedly switching between 50 and 30 km/h structures much of the exam.
