traffic free area to practice driving?

folks, recommendations please for a new driver (holding a valid license) to practice driving ... ideally with no or very low traffic.

We get no end of learners using Kiln Farm.

I don't know if it's changed yet but if you go to Magna Park near John Lewis warehouse there's a bit of Fen Street which hasn't been finished. It's got a bus lane and everything but it just leads to a bit of grass so there's no traffic.

Stacey Bushes Ind Estate is nice and quiet early on the weekend.

Shenley wood is a favourite for driving instructors.

You don't wanna do that in Bletchley (where I live) 😆
Reminds me of good old days - when I was doing my driving test the instructor almost failed me for speeding. The other guys drove like they had a stick up their butts and still some of them failed.
Early hours and late nights anywhere is the answer.

When I passed my test I used to go out after 9pm and practise which had the added bonus of practising driving in the dark as well which can be quite different. However that was in the days before we had the antisocial cruisers doing silly speeds up the dual carriageways so I probably wouldn’t recommend it now. The other commenters advice of early morning will be a better choice.

Some of the industrial estates will be pretty quiet most of the weekend. Knowhill, crownill, kiln farm. Otherwise just get up like 6am on the weekend and go out for an hour. I did that a couple of times myself when I passed just to get comfortable by myself and in my own car.

Early weekend mornings are the best to practice larger roundabouts like the IKEA roundabout.
