Given the stresses of everyday life and the roads only getting busier, now is a really good time to be driving an automatic car.
You may be a complete beginner, or someone who has had a go at manual and found it wasn’t the right fit. 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, since there is no clutch, so when you come off the brake and press the accelerator, there’s no hesitation, you just go.
Simple enough in an automatic car, as soon as you move your foot from the brake to the gas, the car will move, no more constant clutch movement, putting on the handbrake and finding the biting point, you just calmly move your feet from one pedal to the other. And another plus – 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, particularly during rush hour. In an automatic car it’s simple – we cannot make the traffic disappear, however you can control the car easier, reducing pollution, and easy on the feet and legs, as no constant clutch control.

Anchorage Park in Portsmouth presents a unique and rewarding environment for learner drivers looking to build confidence behind the wheel. This waterside residential area combines quiet suburban streets with access to some of the city’s busier arterial roads, making it an ideal location for progressing through the various stages of driving tuition. Whether you are just starting out or preparing for your practical test, understanding the local road network is essential to becoming a safe and competent driver.
One of the key challenges learners face in this part of Portsmouth is mastering the flow of traffic on busier routes such as those connecting to the M275 and the wider road network. Additionally, roundabouts are a common feature throughout the area, and gaining proficiency in judging speed, positioning, and lane discipline is crucial. Consequently, driving instructors often use Anchorage Park as a training ground because it offers a realistic mix of traffic conditions without overwhelming new drivers too early in their learning journey.
Beyond the driving lessons themselves, Anchorage Park benefits from its proximity to Portsmouth’s popular attractions. The historic Portsmouth Historic Dockyard and the vibrant Gunwharf Quays shopping and entertainment complex are both within easy reach, offering visitors and residents alike plenty of things to do. Furthermore, the city’s nightlife scene, particularly around Southsea, provides a lively contrast to the calmer residential feel of Anchorage Park itself.
Ultimately, learning to drive in Anchorage Park offers a well-rounded experience, combining practical road skills with exposure to Portsmouth’s cultural and social highlights. This balance makes it an excellent starting point for anyone beginning their driving education in the city.
Everyone learns at a different pace, but most learners find it takes around 40 to 45 hours of lessons, plus plenty of practice, to reach test standard.
