Given the stresses of everyday life and the roads getting busier, now is a great 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. 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, 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, 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. Another benefit – 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, 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.

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 some experience on busier roads.

Eastney, a vibrant coastal district in Portsmouth, offers an excellent environment for new drivers looking to build confidence behind the wheel. With its unique blend of residential streets, coastal roads, and access to busier city routes, Eastney provides the perfect training ground for learners to develop a well-rounded set of driving skills before venturing further afield.
One of the key challenges learners face in Eastney is mastering the area’s roundabouts and junctions. Roads such as Highland Road and Bransbury Road see a steady flow of traffic, particularly during peak hours, making them ideal for practising lane discipline and roundabout etiquette. Additionally, the proximity to Eastney Esplanade means learners can experience varying traffic conditions, from quiet residential lanes to busier thoroughfares, all within a short driving distance.
Beyond the practical skills, learning to drive in Eastney allows students to become familiar with popular local attractions. Eastney Beach and the nearby Southsea seafront are must-visit spots, while the D-Day Story museum and Royal Marines Museum provide historical insight into the area. Consequently, driving lessons here often double as an introduction to Portsmouth’s rich heritage.
Once qualified, new drivers will find Eastney’s proximity to Southsea’s nightlife an added bonus, with bars, restaurants, and entertainment venues easily accessible. Furthermore, the area’s parks and coastal walks offer plenty of leisure opportunities.
Ultimately, Eastney combines practical driving challenges with an enjoyable, attraction-rich backdrop, making it an ideal location to learn to drive.
It depends on the individual, but on average it takes around 40 to 45 hours of lessons, combined with plenty of practice, to be ready for your test.
