Given 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. 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, there’s no hesitation, you just go.
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 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 quite often during your driving lessons, particularly during rush hour. In an automatic car its simple – we cannot make the traffic disappear, however you can control the car more easily, reducing pollution, and easy on the feet and legs, as no constant clutch control.
At Lendrums we understand the financial pressure on students, so we offer discounts on driving lessons and block bookings, to take some of the financial pressure off, and we are one of the few driving schools covering Landport who offer driving lesson discounts. Our coverage spans the whole 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 and vice versa from college/university to home.
As an NHS professional, we know how demanding your job is day to day, and would like to show our appreciation for your hard work, looking after people and helping them get well again, therefore we offer a discount for NHS driving lessons, just like we do for students, as a way of saying thank you.
