Given the stresses of everyday life and the roads only getting busier, now is a fantastic time to be driving an automatic car.
You may be a complete beginner, or someone who has had a go at manual and found it wasn’t the right fit. 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, 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, forget about 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!
The Polygon 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.
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 The Polygon that offer driving lesson discounts. We cover all area’s, and can pick up and return to college/university, so if you have study gaps in the day, or once you have experience, can pick you up from home and finish at the college/university and vice versa from college/university to home.
As a 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, so we offer a discount for NHS driving lessons, similar to the students, as a way of showing our appreciation.
Every customer gets FREE online theory and hazard perception training with us, to help you pass your theory test easily.
Our training platform includes the full range of topics tested in your theory exam, 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 The Polygon, this sets you up of passing both parts of your test first time.
A lot of our learners find that working through the online training alongside their lessons helps the two sides of learning to drive come together, as the theory and the practical reinforce each other.
If you’re studying 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 a bit of experience on busier roads. Some of the colleges and universities we cover:
The Polygon is one of Southampton’s most vibrant and centrally located neighbourhoods, making it an interesting yet challenging area for learner drivers. With its mix of busy roads, roundabouts, and constant pedestrian activity, this district offers valuable real-world experience that goes beyond what quieter suburban streets can teach. For those looking to build confidence behind the wheel, tackling The Polygon early in your learning journey can prove immensely beneficial.
One of the first challenges new drivers encounter here is navigating the area’s busy roads. Traffic flows steadily throughout the day, particularly during peak commuting hours, requiring learners to master timing, observation, and decision-making skills. Additionally, The Polygon features several roundabouts that demand precise lane discipline and awareness of surrounding vehicles. Successfully negotiating these junctions is a fundamental skill that will serve drivers well throughout their motoring lives.
Beyond the practical driving experience, The Polygon’s appeal extends into its role as a local hub for entertainment and culture. As a recognised tourist attraction, the area draws visitors keen to explore its architecture and community atmosphere. Furthermore, once the sun sets, The Polygon transforms into a lively nightlife destination, with bars and restaurants attracting crowds of locals and visitors alike. This means learner drivers must also become accustomed to navigating around pedestrians and increased foot traffic during evening hours.
In conclusion, The Polygon provides an excellent training ground for new drivers in Southampton. By mastering its roads, roundabouts, and bustling atmosphere, learners gain practical skills while discovering everything this dynamic neighbourhood has to offer.
This varies from person to person, but most learners find it takes around 40-45 hours of lessons, alongside plenty of practice, to be ready for your test.
