Driving in and around Winchester

Winchester is a wonderful place to learn to drive. This old cathedral city is steeped in history and you’ll pass by many ancient relics and buildings during your driving lessons here. The old parts of the city will test your spacial awareness and car positioning skills, but you’ll become a dabhand at weaving in and out of the little narrow streets. Navigate the city centre’s circular one way system to brush up on your traffic light awareness before practicing your hill starts on the outskirts of the city. The quiet residential areas of Fulflood, Stanmore, Weeke and Abbott’s Barton will give you plenty of space to learn how to pull away safely and to practice your parking and turning manoeuvres.

When you’re ready, you can head north towards Headbourne Worthy, hop on the A34 and build your confidence of dual carriageway and high speed driving. Located right on the edge of the South Downs National Park, Winchester has access to a myriad of country lanes that will take you into beautiful countryside, so breathe in some fresh air, enjoy the ride, but always stay alert for leisure cyclists and horse riders! Winchester provides plenty of variety and interesting driving routes to ensure that you progress through your intensive driving course quickly and efficiently, getting you ready for your driving test in no time at all.

Manual and Automatic Intensive Driving Courses

When booking onto one of our intensive driving courses, you can choose to take the lessons in either an automatic or manual car. If you want to learn to drive quickly, automatic lessons can help to speed up the process. To drive an automatic car you won’t need to learn the skills of clutch control or changing gears so automatic driving is typically easier to pick up than manual transmission driving. That said, having a manual driving licence has many benefits and means you can drive both manual and automatic cars in the future. Manual driving lessons can be a bit more difficult, but all of our intensive driving instructors are well versed in showing students how to change gears and gain clutch control in a quick and simple manner.
