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 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, off you go 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, 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!
Northam 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, 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 easier on your 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 among the few driving schools covering Northam who offer driving lesson discounts.

A lot of our learners find that doing the theory training in parallel with their driving lessons helps everything click into place, because what you study online is exactly what you’re practising on the road.
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 pick you up from home and drop you at college or university, once you have some experience on busier roads.

Northam, a vibrant district within Southampton, presents an excellent environment for learners looking to build genuine confidence behind the wheel. With its blend of busy roads, multiple roundabouts, and steady traffic flow, this area offers the perfect training ground for new drivers to develop essential skills that will serve them well throughout their driving journey.
One of the standout features of learning to drive in Northam is the variety of road types available for practice. The area’s busy roads require learners to master observation skills, speed control, and decision-making under pressure. Furthermore, the numerous roundabouts scattered throughout the district provide invaluable experience in lane discipline and priority judgement. Consequently, learners who train here often develop a strong foundation that translates well to driving tests and real-world scenarios.
Beyond the practical driving lessons, Northam’s proximity to Southampton’s city centre means learners can also familiarise themselves with routes leading to popular tourist attractions. This includes historic sites and cultural landmarks that make the city an appealing destination. Additionally, practising drives through these areas helps learners become comfortable navigating unfamiliar territory whilst managing pedestrian traffic.
Southampton’s thriving nightlife scene, easily accessible from Northam, offers another dimension to driving practice. Learning to navigate towards entertainment districts during evening hours helps students build confidence with reduced visibility conditions. Moreover, understanding these routes proves practical for future independent driving once qualified.
In conclusion, Northam provides an ideal setting for aspiring drivers, combining challenging road conditions with access to Southampton’s attractions and entertainment venues, ensuring comprehensive and practical driving education.
Everyone learns at a different pace, but on average it takes around 40 to 45 hours of lessons, alongside plenty of practice, before you’re ready to pass.
