With everyday life being as stressful as it is and the roads becoming busier, now is a fantastic time to be driving an automatic car.
You maybe a complete beginner, or someone who has had a go at manual and found it wasn’t the right fit. Whatever 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, off you go with no delay.
Piece of cake in an automatic car, as soon as you move your foot from the brake to the gas, the car will move, forget about 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!
{location} has its share of busy roads, junctions, roundabouts, traffic lights and built-up areas, where you ‘ll be in traffic a lot of the time during your driving lessons, particularly during rush hour. In an automatic car it’s simple – we cannot make the traffic disappear, but you can control the car easier, reducing pollution, and easier on your feet and legs, as no constant clutch control.
At Lendrums Driving School we understand how tight money can be for students, so we offer reduced rates on lessons and block bookings, to take some of the financial pressure off, and we are one of the few driving schools covering Baffins that offer driving lesson discounts. We cover the full Baffins area, and can collect you from and drop you back at college or university, so if you have study gaps in the day, or once you have experience, we can pick you up from home and finish at the college/university – or the other way round, college/university to home.
As an NHS professional, we know just how much pressure you’re under, and would like to show our appreciation for your hard work, looking after people and helping them get well again, so we offer a discount for NHS driving lessons, just like we do for students, as a way of showing our appreciation.
We offer FREE online theory and hazard perception training for all customers, to help you pass your theory test easily.
You’ll get access to the full range of topics tested in your theory exam, including hazard perception clips, road signs, and the Highway Code, so you can study at your own pace, whenever suits you. Combined with the hands-on lessons you’ll be having with your instructor in {location}, this puts you in the strongest position for passing both parts of your test first time.
Plenty of the people we teach find that combining the online theory prep with their practical lessons helps the two sides of learning to drive come together, as the theory and the practical reinforce each other.
If you’re studying at college or university, we can collect you during study breaks, taking you back to your studies or home once your lesson’s done, plus we can collect you from home and drive you to college or university, once you have some experience on busier roads. Some of the colleges and universities we cover:
Baffins, a vibrant residential area in Portsmouth, offers an excellent setting for learner drivers to build confidence behind the wheel. With its mix of quiet residential streets and busier arterial roads, this Portsmouth suburb provides the perfect training ground for new drivers to develop essential skills before tackling more challenging city centre routes. Local driving instructors familiar with the area can help students navigate the unique road layouts that Baffins has to offer.
One of the key advantages of learning to drive in Baffins is exposure to real-world traffic scenarios. Copnor Road and Tangier Road serve as important routes connecting learners to Portsmouth’s wider road network, including multiple roundabouts that require careful observation and timing. Mastering these junctions early on helps build the confidence needed for more complex driving situations across the city. Additionally, proximity to the A2030 gives students valuable experience with faster-moving traffic in a controlled learning environment.
Beyond the practical driving lessons, Baffins benefits from its convenient location near Portsmouth’s popular attractions. Learners can practice driving routes toward Southsea seafront, the historic Portsmouth Dockyard, and Gunwharf Quays shopping centre. Furthermore, the area’s proximity to Portsmouth’s nightlife district means students gain experience navigating evening traffic patterns, an essential skill for newly qualified drivers.
Between driving sessions, Baffins offers plenty of local amenities, including shops, cafes, and green spaces like Milton Park. This allows learners to relax and absorb their lessons before continuing their driving education.
Ultimately, Baffins provides an ideal balance of residential calm and urban challenge, making it a fantastic location for aspiring drivers throughout Portsmouth.
Everyone learns at a different pace, but on average it takes around 40 to 45 hours of lessons, alongside plenty of practice, to reach test standard.
