"made me feel completely at ease"

“Dear Sir or Madam

I am writing to thank the school for providing me with the skills to pass my driving test.

Having failed my driving test twice thirteen years ago and having not been behind the wheel since, I was quite wary about trying again. But my instructor, Martin, made me feel completely at ease. The course had more structure than my lessons years ago and, I have to say, the professionalism and manner in which Martin teaches had me wishing I'd been able to learn from someone like him from the start. I think he must be the most patient person I have met!”

Anne Chamberlain, Morden, Surrey.

Areas to do controls/Moving off & Stopping

Herondale Avenue is a quiet street where the student can learn how to start and stop, and familiarize themselves with the controls in the car.

Left/Right turns and emerging at T-Junctions

Affinity Driving School recommends the following circuit for carrying out turns and emerging at T-junctions:

Begin along Herondale Avenue. At the end of the road emerge right on to Ellerton Road and then take the second right on to Loxley Road. From here turn right onto Lyford Road. Next take the first right on to Frewin Road and at the end of this road emerge left which takes you back on to Ellerton Road. Taking the first left, the student will be back on Herondale Avenue.

This circuit provides a good, quiet route to practice steering, MSPSL and peep and creep techniques.

Meeting Traffic

For learning about meeting traffic - when a road only has space for one car to pass, try Isis Road. It is quiet and provides a good environment to practice this aspect of driving.

Roundabouts

On Burntwood Lane (B229) there is a roundabout where the student can gain an understanding of how to negotiate roundabouts safely. Priorities and signaling can all be practiced at this roundabout.

Pedestrian Crossings and use of Signals

For pedestrian crossings and signals, Garratt Lane provides the learner with plenty of good practice.

Areas to do Maneuvers

Herondale Avenue is a good place for practicing the turn in the road and parallel park exercises. Reversing around the corner can be practiced at the intersection of Lyminge Gardens and Collamore Avenue.
