With everyday life being as stressful as it is and the roads only getting busier, now is a fantastic time to be driving an automatic car.
You maybe a complete beginner, or someone who has tried manual lessons and decided it wasn’t for you. No matter your level, we can cater for you, and promise you a fantastic learning experience.
How many of your friends have told you about stalling, and how they hated it? In an automatic car you cannot stall, as there is no clutch, so when you come off the brake and press the accelerator, there’s no hesitation, you just go.
Piece of cake in an automatic car, as soon as you move your foot from the brake to the gas, the car will move, none of this constant clutch movement, putting on the handbrake and finding the biting point, you just calmly move your feet from one pedal to the other. On top of that – no rolling backwards!
Weston has its share of busy roads, junctions, roundabouts, traffic lights and built-up areas, where you ‘ll be in traffic quite often during your driving lessons, especially in rush hour. In an automatic car its simple, we cannot make the traffic disappear, but you can control the car more easily, less pollution, and easy on the feet and legs, as no constant clutch control.
At Lendrums Driving School we understand the financial pressure on students, so we offer discounts on driving lessons and block bookings, to help you budget more easily, and we are one of the few driving schools covering Weston that offer driving lesson discounts.

Weston is a vibrant suburb of Southampton that offers learner drivers a unique combination of residential streets, busy main roads, and complex junctions, making it an excellent location to develop well-rounded driving skills. Whether you are a complete beginner or brushing up before your test, understanding the local road network is essential for building confidence behind the wheel.
Weston Lane and Weston Shore Road are among the area’s most frequently used routes, connecting residents to the wider Southampton road system. As you progress through lessons, your instructor will likely introduce you to several roundabouts in the vicinity, including those linking to Peartree Green and the A3025. These junctions require careful observation, correct positioning, and confident decision-making. Consequently, mastering roundabout etiquette early on will prove invaluable when you eventually tackle Southampton’s busier city centre routes.
Once you have gained sufficient confidence, Weston Shore itself becomes a rewarding practice destination, offering coastal views across Southampton Water alongside opportunities to practise parking manoeuvres in quieter car parks. Nearby, Weston Park provides a pleasant green space where you can take a break between lessons.
Southampton’s nightlife and entertainment options are within easy reach once you pass your test, with the city centre offering restaurants, bars, and cultural venues just a short drive away. Learning locally therefore means you will quickly become familiar with routes to these popular destinations.
Ultimately, learning to drive in Weston equips you with practical experience across varied road conditions, preparing you thoroughly for both your test and everyday driving throughout Southampton and beyond.
This varies from person to person, but most learners find it takes around 45 hours of lessons, combined with plenty of practice, to reach test standard.
