With the stresses of everyday life and the roads becoming busier, now is a great time to be driving an automatic car.
You maybe 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, as there is no clutch, so when you come off the brake and press the accelerator, there’s no hesitation, you just go.
Piece of cake 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. On top of that – no rolling backwards!
{location} 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, especially in rush hour. In an automatic car it’s simple – we cannot make the traffic disappear, but you can control the car easier, reducing pollution, and easy on the feet and legs, as no constant clutch control.
Here at Lendrums Driving School we understand the financial strain students are under, so we offer reduced rates on lessons and block bookings, to take some of the financial pressure off, and we are among the few driving schools covering Paulsgrove that offer driving lesson discounts. Our coverage spans the whole area, and can collect you from and drop you back at college or university, so if you have study gaps in the day, or once you’re a bit more experienced, we can pick you up from home and finish at the college/university – or the other way round, college/university to home.
As a NHS professional, we know how demanding your job is day to day, and want to say thank you for everything you do, looking after people and helping them get well again, therefore we offer a discount for NHS driving lessons, the same as for students, as a way of saying thank you.
We offer FREE online theory and hazard perception training for all customers, to help you pass your theory test easily.
You’ll get access to everything you need to prepare for the theory test, including hazard perception clips, road signs, and the Highway Code, so you can study at your own pace, whenever suits you. Combined with the practical driving lessons you’ll be having with your instructor in {location}, this gives you the best possible chance for getting through your theory and practical with confidence.
Many of our pupils find that doing the theory training in parallel with their driving lessons helps the two sides of learning to drive come together, 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 you from home and drive you to college or university, once you have some experience on busier roads. Some of the colleges and universities we cover:
Learning to drive is an exciting milestone, and choosing the right location to build your skills can make all the difference. Paulsgrove, a vibrant suburb of Portsmouth, offers learner drivers a unique mix of challenges and opportunities. From navigating busy roads to mastering roundabouts, this area provides the perfect training ground for new motorists looking to gain confidence behind the wheel.
Paulsgrove sits close to major routes such as the M27 and A3, meaning learners quickly become accustomed to merging with faster-moving traffic. Additionally, the local road network features several roundabouts, including multi-lane systems that require careful observation and timing. Practising in these conditions early on helps new drivers develop the awareness needed for busy junctions elsewhere in Portsmouth and beyond, ultimately building a strong foundation for safer driving habits.
Once you’ve passed your test, Portsmouth’s attractions are within easy reach. The Spinnaker Tower, Historic Dockyard, and Southsea seafront all make excellent driving destinations, allowing new drivers to practise longer journeys while enjoying the city’s rich maritime heritage.
Portsmouth also boasts a lively nightlife scene, with Gunwharf Quays offering restaurants, bars, and shopping just a short drive from Paulsgrove. Furthermore, Southsea’s entertainment venues provide plenty of options for evening outings, giving newly qualified drivers real-world experience driving after dark.
Ultimately, Paulsgrove offers an ideal blend of practical driving challenges and enjoyable destinations, making it a fantastic base for learner drivers preparing to explore all that Portsmouth has to offer.
This varies from person to person, but typically it takes around 40-45 hours of lessons, alongside plenty of practice, to reach test standard.
