With everyday life being as stressful as it is 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 taken manual driving lessons and found it was not for you. Whatever 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, 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. Another benefit – no rolling backwards!
Highfield 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, however you can control the car more easily, less 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 Highfield that 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, 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, similar to the 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, including hazard perception clips, road signs, and the highway code, letting you fit revision around your schedule. Combined with the practical driving lessons you’ll be having with your instructor in Highfield, this gives you the best possible chance of getting through your theory and practical with confidence.
Plenty of the people we teach find that combining the online theory prep with their practical 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 collect from home and drive to college or university, once you have some experience on busier roads. Some of the colleges and universities we cover:
Highfield, a vibrant suburb of Southampton, offers an excellent environment for learner drivers to build confidence behind the wheel. With its unique combination of residential streets, busy main roads, and complex roundabouts, this area provides a comprehensive training ground for new drivers preparing to face real-world driving conditions. Whether you are just starting your driving journey or brushing up on skills before your test, Highfield presents diverse challenges that will strengthen your abilities.
One of the standout features of learning to drive in Highfield is the exposure to varied traffic scenarios. The area’s busy roads, particularly around University Road and Burgess Road, require learners to develop sharp observation skills and effective speed management. Additionally, Highfield boasts several roundabouts that demand precise judgement, proper signalling, and confident lane positioning. Mastering these junctions early on will prove invaluable, as roundabouts are a staple feature of the UK’s road network and a common test element examiners assess closely.
Beyond the practical driving experience, Highfield’s proximity to Southampton’s attractions makes it an appealing base for learners. The area sits close to the university campus, bustling nightlife venues, and cultural hotspots, meaning driving lessons often double as an introduction to the city itself. Consequently, students can familiarise themselves with routes to popular destinations while simultaneously practising essential skills.
Ultimately, Highfield offers a well-rounded learning experience, blending challenging road conditions with the convenience of nearby amenities. For anyone looking to become a confident, well-prepared driver, this Southampton suburb provides the ideal setting to develop lasting skills for the road ahead.
Everyone learns at a different pace, but on average it takes around 40-45 hours of lessons, plus plenty of practice, before you’re ready to pass.
