Given the stresses of everyday life and the roads becoming busier, now is a great 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. No matter 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, as there is no clutch, so when you come off the brake and press the accelerator, you’re off with no delay.
Piece of cake 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. And another plus – no rolling backwards!
North Baddesley 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 its simple, we cannot make the traffic disappear, but you can control the car more easily, reducing 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 North Baddesley who offer driving lesson discounts. We cover all areas, and can pick up and return to college/university, so if you have study gaps in the day, or once you have experience, we can 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 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, therefore we offer a discount for NHS driving lessons, similar to the students, as a way of showing our appreciation.
All our customers get FREE access to our online theory and hazard perception training, to help you pass your theory test easily.
This covers 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. Alongside the practical driving lessons you’ll be having with your instructor in North Baddesley, this puts you in the strongest position of passing first time.
Plenty of the people we teach find that working through the online training alongside their lessons helps everything click into place, as the theory and the practical reinforce each other.
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. Some of the colleges and universities we cover:
North Baddesley, a charming village situated on the outskirts of Southampton, offers an excellent environment for learner drivers to develop their skills. With its blend of quiet residential streets and access to busier arterial roads, the area provides a balanced learning curve for those new to driving. Consequently, many driving instructors recommend this locality as an ideal starting point before tackling the more complex traffic systems found in central Southampton.
One of the key challenges learners will encounter is mastering the local roundabouts. North Baddesley and its surrounding areas feature several multi-lane roundabouts that require confidence and precise timing. Additionally, busy roads such as those connecting to the M27 motorway demand a solid understanding of lane discipline and speed management. Therefore, practising in these conditions early on helps build the necessary skills for safe, independent driving.
Beyond the practical driving lessons, North Baddesley’s location offers plenty of incentive to get behind the wheel. The nearby New Forest National Park stands as a popular tourist attraction, drawing visitors who appreciate scenic drives through woodland roads. Meanwhile, Southampton’s vibrant nightlife, including bars, restaurants, and entertainment venues, becomes far more accessible once you’ve passed your test. There are also numerous leisure activities nearby, from shopping centres to sports facilities, making driving an essential skill for enjoying everything the region has to offer.
In conclusion, learning to drive in North Baddesley combines practical road experience with the motivation of nearby attractions, creating a rewarding journey towards full licensure.
This varies from person to person, but on average it takes around 45 hours of lessons, combined with plenty of practice, to be ready for your test.
