"I overcome my weaknesses in driving under Affinity"

I learnt to drive with Affinity at my own pace and Suresh was flexible in his approach to teaching so it would suit me.
I was encouraged when disheartened and praised when I was doing well.
I was taught the theory of driving in tandem with its practical elements.
My weaknesses were targeted specifically one at at a time and in a focused manner, leaving me confident to sit my test with a methodical and calm approach.

Driving Schools Hammersmith

We are delighted to be able to serve the area of Driving Schools Hammersmith 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

For practice moving off and stopping as well as getting to grips with the controls of the car, try Aldensley Road.

Left/Right turns and emerging at T-Junctions

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

Start on the Hammersmith Road heading in the direction of Kensington High Street. Turn left onto Wolverton Gardens. At the end of the road turn left onto Bute Gardens and then shortly after take the right hand turn into Luxemburg Gardens. At the end of this road you will meet a one way street which you have to turn left into called Brook Green. At the end of this road take a right onto Shepherd’s Bush Road and then soon after take another right onto Brook Green. This road is also a one way street. Continue along this road until you find yourself back on the Hammersmith Road.

This circuit provides a tried and tested method for allowing you to practice steering, MSPSL and peep and creep techniques.

Meeting Traffic

When two cars meet and yet there is only room for one to pass, this is known as meeting traffic. The body language of the other car is key to knowing how to proceed. Wolverton Gardens is a good street where the student can gain an understanding of this.

Roundabouts

Wellesley Road, Walpole Gardens, Heathfield Terrace and Sutton Lane all meet at a roundabout where the student can practice and get a good understanding of how to negotiate and cross them safely. Priorities, positioning and the appropriate signals to use can be practiced here.

Pedestrian Crossings and use of Signals

For the student to get practice negotiating pedestrian crossings use the Hammersmith Road for practice as there are plenty to be found here.

Areas to do Maneuvers

Bute Gardens is ideal for practicing a turn in the road and parallel parking. For reversing around a corner, try where Bute Gardens and Rowan Road meet.
