Given the stresses of everyday life and the roads only getting busier, now is a really good time to be driving an automatic car.
You maybe a complete beginner, or someone who has tried manual lessons and decided it wasn’t for you. Whatever stage you’re at, 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, as there is no clutch, so when you come off the brake and press the accelerator, off you go 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, none of this constant clutch movement, putting on the handbrake and finding the biting point, you just calmly move your feet from one pedal to the other. And another plus – 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, particularly during 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 how tight money can be for students, so we offer reduced rates on lessons and block bookings, to make things easier on your budget, and we are one of the few driving schools covering Emsworth who offer driving lesson discounts. We cover the full Emsworth area, and can pick up and return to college/university, so if you have study gaps in the day, or once you have experience, we’ll pick you up from home and finish at the college/university – or the other way round, college/university to home.

Many of our pupils find that combining the online theory prep with their practical lessons makes the whole learning process click faster, because what you study online is exactly what you’re practising on the road.
If you’re studying 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 collect you from home and drive you to college or university, once you have a bit of experience on busier roads. Some of the colleges and universities we cover:
