With everyday life being as stressful as it is and the roads becoming busier, now is a fantastic 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 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, 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!
Lordswood 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, particularly during rush hour. In an automatic car it’s simple – we cannot make the traffic disappear, but you can control the car more easily, less pollution, and easy on the feet and legs, as no constant clutch control.

Lordswood, a leafy residential area in Southampton, offers an ideal setting for learner drivers to build confidence behind the wheel. With its mix of quiet suburban streets and access to busier arterial roads, this Southampton suburb provides the perfect training ground for new motorists. Furthermore, its proximity to the city centre means learners can gradually progress from calm residential driving to more challenging urban conditions.
One of the key benefits of learning to drive in Lordswood is the variety of road types within easy reach. Learners can practise on tree-lined residential roads before venturing onto busier routes such as Bassett Avenue and the nearby M3 approach roads. Additionally, Southampton is well known for its numerous roundabouts, and Lordswood’s location provides excellent opportunities to master this essential skill. The Redbridge roundabout and various junctions along the ring road system offer realistic scenarios that instructors frequently use to build learners’ spatial awareness and confidence.
Once you’ve passed your test, Southampton’s attractions become easily accessible. The historic Southampton Old Town, with its medieval walls and vaults, makes for an interesting drive, while the bustling WestQuay shopping centre demonstrates urban driving skills in action. Meanwhile, the SeaCity Museum and Titanic exhibits offer cultural destinations worth the journey.
Southampton’s vibrant nightlife, centred around Above Bar Street and Oxford Street, provides newly qualified drivers with practical experience navigating busier evening traffic. Consequently, this makes for valuable real-world practice.
Ultimately, Lordswood’s strategic position offers learners a comprehensive driving education, combining peaceful practice roads with genuine access to Southampton’s diverse attractions and amenities.
It depends on the individual, but typically it takes around 45 hours of lessons, plus plenty of practice, to reach test standard.
