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 taken manual driving lessons and found it was not for you. Whatever stage you’re at, we can cater for you, and promise you of 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, you’re off 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, 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!
Townhill Park 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, reducing 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 one of the few driving schools covering Townhill Park 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, 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, so we offer a discount for NHS driving lessons, similar to the students, as a way of showing our appreciation.

A lot of our learners find that doing the theory training in parallel with their driving lessons makes the whole learning process click faster, 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.
