Given the stresses of everyday life 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 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, you’re off with no delay.
Simple enough 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 feet from one pedal to the other. And another plus – No rolling backwards!
Bassett Green has its share of busy roads, junctions, roundabouts, traffic lights and built-up areas, where you will be in traffic a lot of the time 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, reducing 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 Bassett Green who offer driving lesson discounts. We cover all area’s, and can pick up and return to college/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 and vice versa from college/university to home.
As an NHS professional, we know the everyday stresses and strains you go through, and would like to thank you for your amazing efforts, keeping people safe and helping people recover, therefore we offer a discount for NHS driving lessons, the same as 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.
Our training platform includes all the key topics covered in the official theory test, from hazard perception clips, road signs, and the highway code, allowing you to revise in your own time, at your own pace. Combined with the practical driving lessons you’ll be having with your instructor in Bassett Green, this sets you up of passing both parts of your test first time.
Many of our pupils find that working through the online training alongside their lessons helps the two sides of learning to drive come together, since the rules you’re learning on paper are the same ones you’re applying behind the wheel.
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 from home and drive to college or university, once you have a bit of experience on busier roads. Some of the colleges and universities we cover:
Bassett Green offers an excellent setting for learners looking to build confidence behind the wheel. This vibrant Southampton suburb combines quiet residential streets with access to busier routes, making it an ideal location to progress from the basics to more advanced driving skills. Whether you are just starting out or brushing up before your test, the area provides a balanced mix of driving conditions.
One of the key benefits of learning in Bassett Green is exposure to a variety of road types. Nearby routes such as The Avenue and Burgess Road introduce learners to steady traffic flow, while roundabouts like those near Wide Lane and Winchester Road help build essential skills in observation and timing. Consequently, new drivers quickly become comfortable managing junctions, lane discipline, and merging traffic, all of which are crucial for passing the driving test and for safe driving beyond it.
Beyond the practical benefits, Bassett Green’s location means learners often pass notable attractions during lessons. The Common, Southampton, with its green spaces and walking trails, is just a short drive away, offering a pleasant backdrop for practising quieter driving manoeuvres. Meanwhile, the city centre’s shopping and dining options provide further opportunities to practise navigating busier urban environments.
Once lessons are complete, Bassett Green’s proximity to Southampton’s nightlife and entertainment venues makes it easy to enjoy a well-earned break. From cosy pubs to lively bars, there is something for everyone nearby, alongside cinemas, restaurants, and cultural venues.
Altogether, Bassett Green provides a well-rounded environment for learner drivers, combining practical road experience with easy access to Southampton’s attractions and social scene.
Everyone learns at a different pace, but typically it takes around 40 to 45 hours of lessons, combined with plenty of practice, before you’re ready to pass.
