I learn to drive comfortably under the guidance of affinity driving school

My first experience with Suresh Dharmarajan as my driving instructor with Affinity Driving School removed any doubts from my mind whether I would be able to learn to drive. Although professionalism is practised throughout he still manages to make you feel comfortable, confident and motivated to learn and move on to the next skill required to pass the driving test.

Driving Schools in Chessington & Hook (KT9)

We are delighted to be able to serve the area of Driving Schools Chessington & Hook (KT9) with both automatic and manual driving lessons. Please see the information below which is intended to help develop your key driving competencies further. It has been provided by our fully DSA-licensed driving instructors.

Areas to do Controls/Moving off & Stopping

It is best to start this subject on a quiet road like Somerset Avenue.  Filby Road can be used for uphill starts.

Left/Right turns and emerging at T-Junctions

ADS recommend doing a circuit which starts on Woodgate Avenue, turns left on to Hereford Way and then turns left on to Ripon Gardens.  At the end of Ripon Gardens  we can emerge right on to Woodgate Avenue and take the first right on to Tiverton Way.  If we emerge left we are back on to  Hereford Way. At the end of the road emerging left takes us on to Stormont Way. We can then emerge left back on to Woodgate Avenue.  This allows the learner to practice steering, MSPSL and Peep and Creep techniques.

Crossroads

The crossroads of Cheshire Gardens,  Woodgate Avenue and Mansfield Road can be used to illustrate priorities and the extra observation applied at crossroads. This junction can also be used to provide instruction on the methods of turning right-to-right at a crossroads.

Roundabouts

The roundabout where Hook Road,  Leatherhead Road,  Mansfield Road and Bridge Road come together; can be used to illustrate priorities, methods of positioning and the appropriate signals for a given exit.

Pedestrian Crossings and use of Signals

Driving down Hook Road,  Elm Road,  Bridge Road or Leatherhead Road there are plenty of crossings which can be used to demonstrate the various different types of crossings and the rules applying to road markings. Planning issues can also be addressed on this route.

Areas to do manoeuvres

The  Reverse around the Corner exercise can be carried out where Station Road meets either Rhodrons Avenue or Moorfield Road. The parallel park can be done in Moorfield Road. The Turn in the Road is easily demonstrated on either Ashby Avenue or Maltby Road.
