With everyday life being as stressful as it is and the roads only getting busier, now is a great time to be driving an automatic car.
You may be a complete beginner, or someone who has taken manual driving lessons and found it was not for you. No matter your level, we can cater for you, and promise you of 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, since 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. Another benefit – No rolling backwards!
{location} 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 it’s simple, we cannot make the traffic disappear, but you can control the car easier, less pollution, and easier on your feet and legs, as no constant clutch control.
At Lendrums we understand how tight money can be for students, so we offer discounts on driving lessons and block bookings, to make things easier on your budget, and we are one of the few driving schools covering Horndean that offer driving lesson discounts. Our coverage spans the whole area, and can pick up and return to college/university, so if you have study gaps in the day, or once you’re a bit more experienced, we’ll pick you up from home and finish at the college/university and vice versa from college/university to home.

Horndean, a charming village on the outskirts of Portsmouth, offers an ideal setting for learner drivers to build confidence behind the wheel. With its mix of quiet residential streets and busier arterial roads, the area provides a balanced learning environment. Furthermore, its proximity to Portsmouth means new drivers can gradually progress from calmer village roads to the challenges of urban driving, making it a popular choice for driving instruction.
One of the key benefits of learning to drive in Horndean is exposure to varied road types. The A3(M) and A3 London Road are essential routes for practising higher-speed driving and lane discipline. Additionally, Horndean features several roundabouts, including those along Havant Road, which are excellent for mastering junction priority and observation skills. As learners progress, venturing towards Portsmouth introduces them to more complex, multi-lane roundabouts, ensuring comprehensive preparation for the driving test.
Beyond driving practice, Horndean’s location allows learners to familiarise themselves with routes to popular attractions. Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, Spinnaker Tower, and Southsea seafront are all within reach, offering practical driving experience while exploring the region’s rich maritime heritage.
Once lessons conclude, Horndean and nearby Portsmouth offer plenty of leisure options. Local pubs, restaurants, and Gunwharf Quays provide entertainment and dining, while Portsmouth’s vibrant nightlife caters to those seeking a lively evening out.
Ultimately, Horndean provides a well-rounded environment for learner drivers, combining practical road experience with access to Portsmouth’s attractions and entertainment.
Everyone learns at a different pace, but most learners find it takes around 40-45 hours of lessons, plus plenty of practice, before you’re ready to pass.
