Given the stresses of everyday life and the roads getting busier, now is a fantastic time to be driving an automatic car.
You maybe a complete beginner, or someone who has had a go at manual and found it wasn’t the right fit. 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, 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, 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!
Marchwood 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, particularly during 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 Marchwood that offer driving lesson discounts.

If you are a student at college or university, we can collect you during study breaks, taking you back to your studies or home once your lesson’s done, plus we can collect from home and drive to college or university, once you have some experience on busier roads.

Marchwood, a charming village on the western edge of Southampton, offers learner drivers a unique blend of challenges and opportunities to build confidence behind the wheel. With its mix of quiet residential streets and busier connecting roads, this Hampshire location provides an excellent training ground for new motorists preparing to tackle real-world driving conditions.
One of the first skills learners must master in this area is navigating roundabouts confidently. Southampton’s road network features numerous roundabouts of varying sizes, from simple mini-roundabouts to more complex multi-lane systems. Consequently, instructors often recommend that students practise these junctions repeatedly until lane positioning and signalling become second nature. Additionally, Marchwood’s proximity to major routes means learners quickly gain experience merging into faster-flowing traffic, an essential skill for passing the practical test.
Beyond the driving lessons themselves, Marchwood and its surroundings offer plenty of appeal for those taking a break from studying the Highway Code. The village itself boasts scenic waterside views across Southampton Water, while nearby attractions include the New Forest National Park, perfect for weekend excursions once you’ve passed your test. Furthermore, Southampton city centre, just a short drive away, provides vibrant nightlife options, shopping centres, and cultural attractions worth exploring.
For entertainment closer to home, Marchwood residents enjoy access to local pubs, walking trails, and community events throughout the year. In conclusion, learning to drive in Marchwood combines practical road experience with the added bonus of discovering a picturesque corner of Hampshire, making the journey towards independence both educational and enjoyable.
This varies from person to person, but on average it takes around 40-45 hours of lessons, plus plenty of practice, to be ready for your test.
