With the stresses of everyday life and the roads becoming busier, now is a really good time to be driving an automatic car.
You may be a complete beginner, or someone who has tried manual lessons and decided it wasn’t 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, as there is no clutch, so when you come off the brake and press the accelerator, you’re off 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 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 will be in traffic quite often during your driving lessons, especially in rush hour. In an automatic car its simple – we cannot make the traffic disappear, but you can control the car easier, less pollution, and easy on the feet and legs, as no constant clutch control.
At Lendrums Driving School we understand the financial strain students are under, so we offer reduced rates on lessons and block bookings, to take some of the financial pressure off, and we are among the few driving schools covering Copnor who offer driving lesson discounts.

Copnor, a vibrant suburb of Portsmouth, offers an excellent environment for learner drivers to develop their skills and confidence behind the wheel. With its mix of residential streets, busy main roads, and proximity to the city centre, Copnor provides the perfect training ground for new drivers preparing for their practical test. Choosing a local driving instructor who understands the area’s unique road layout can significantly enhance your learning experience.
One of the first challenges learners encounter in Copnor is navigating the busy roads, particularly London Road and Copnor Road, which see heavy traffic throughout the day. These routes are ideal for practising essential skills such as lane discipline, speed management, and hazard perception. Additionally, Portsmouth’s road network features numerous roundabouts, and mastering these junctions is crucial for passing your test. Local instructors often incorporate practice at roundabouts like the one near Fratton Park to build learners’ confidence in merging and exiting safely.
Beyond the practical driving lessons, Copnor’s location offers easy access to Portsmouth’s renowned attractions. Once you’ve earned your licence, you’ll be perfectly positioned to explore the Historic Dockyard, Spinnaker Tower, and Southsea seafront. The area also boasts a thriving nightlife scene, with numerous bars, restaurants, and entertainment venues within a short drive.
Ultimately, learning to drive in Copnor equips you with the skills needed to confidently navigate not just local roads, but the entire Portsmouth area, opening doors to countless activities and destinations.
This varies from person to person, but most learners find it takes around 45 hours of lessons, alongside plenty of practice, to reach test standard.
Costs vary based on the lesson type and how many you book in a block, see our prices page for a full breakdown.
