"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.

We are delighted to be able to serve the area of Mitcham (CR4) 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
Victoria Road is ideal for this.

Left/Right turns and emerging at T-Junctions
Begin on Edenvale Road which emerges left on to Ashbourne Road, and then take the first left on to Stanley Road. From here, take the first left on to Milton Road which will emerge right on to Edenvale Road. At the end of this road, emerge right on to St. Barnabus Road, and take the first right back on to Stanley Road. The next right on to Milton Road allows the student to turn back on to Edenvale Road. Steering, MSPSL and Peep and Creep techniques can be practiced here.

Crossroads
The crossroads where Edenvale Road and St Barnabus meet are appropriate to illustrate priorities and the importance of extra observation when negotiating crossroads.

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 safely. A good place for practicing this technique safely is St Barnabus Road and Gorringe Park Avenue.

Roundabouts
The roundabout where Streatham Road, London Road, Locks Lane and Eveline Road meet is good for demonstrating priorities, positioning and the correct signaling when applied for a particular exit.

Pedestrian Crossings and use of Signals
Holborn Way and Upper Green West hold many crossings and different signals, and how to act according to the road markings. This road also enables planning issues to
be addressed.

Areas to do maneuvers
The corner of Victoria Road and Heathfield Drive is a good spot for reversing around a corner. Additionally the corner of Victoria Road and Friday Road is suitable. The turn in the road can be practiced on Victoria Road as can parallel parking.
