With the stresses of everyday life and the roads becoming busier, now is a great 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. 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, as 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, no more 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!
Chilworth 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 easier on your 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 among the few driving schools covering Chilworth 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 a 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, so we offer a discount for NHS driving lessons, the same as for students, as a way of showing our appreciation.
Every customer gets FREE online theory and hazard perception training with us, to help you pass your theory test easily.
You’ll get access to everything you need to prepare for the theory test, 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 Chilworth, this puts you in the strongest position of passing both parts of your test first time.
A lot of our learners 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 are a student at college or university, we can collect you during study breaks, returning you to your studies or to home after your lesson, plus we can pick you up from home and drop you at college or university, once you have a bit of experience on busier roads. Some of the colleges and universities we cover:
Chilworth, a picturesque suburb on the outskirts of Southampton, offers an ideal environment for learner drivers seeking to build confidence behind the wheel. With its blend of quiet residential streets and access to busier arterial roads, this area provides the perfect training ground for new motorists. Whether you are just starting your driving journey or brushing up on skills before a test, Chilworth’s varied road network offers valuable real-world experience.
One of the standout benefits of learning to drive in Chilworth is the opportunity to master busy roads and roundabouts. The nearby M27 motorway junction and the A27 provide learners with exposure to higher-speed driving conditions, while multiple roundabouts throughout the area help develop essential skills in lane discipline, observation, and timing. Consequently, students who train here often feel well-prepared for the diverse challenges presented during their practical driving test.
Beyond the practical benefits, Chilworth’s surroundings offer plenty to explore once you have passed your test. The area is close to Southampton Common, a beautiful green space perfect for leisurely drives, as well as the vibrant city centre with its shopping and dining options. Additionally, Southampton’s rich maritime history and attractions such as the SeaCity Museum are just a short drive away.
Southampton’s nightlife scene, featuring bars, restaurants, and entertainment venues, becomes easily accessible once you have your licence. From cosy pubs to lively clubs, newly qualified drivers can enjoy greater independence and freedom to explore the city after dark.
