Testimonials
“I've had many lessons, been through many driving schools and instructors; but Wimbledon Driving School helped me to pass. Russ and Farooq were my instructors and they were the best I have met. I am a TV producer and did a series about driving schools and this is the best driving school in my professional opinion.”
Rima Rouf, Tooting Bec, London
“I must say that I am extremely happy with the lessons compared to the last driving school. I learnt so much more in just 3 lessons than I did in over 20 at my previous school. I am very confident that this school is one of the best in London, if not the best.”
Paul Tavarez, New Malden, Surrey
Driving Schools Balham, Clapham & Streatham (SW2, SW4, SW12, & SW16)Our driving school proudly serves the Balham, Clapham & Streatham (SW2, SW4, SW12, & SW16) areas with automatic and manual driving lessons. The information below is intended to help you develop your driving skills further in the key driving competencies and has been provided by our DSA-licenced driving instructors. We hope you find it useful. Areas to do controls/Moving off & Stopping It is best to start this subject on a quiet road like Atkins Road. Left/Right turns and emerging at T-Junctions WDS recommend doing a circuit which starts on Emmanuel Road turns left on to Glenfield Road and emerges right on to Burnbury Road. At the end of Burnbury Road we can emerge left on to Radbourne Road and then take the next left on to Midmoor Road. At the end of Midmoor Road we can emerge left on to Haverhill Road and then turn back on to Emmanuel Road. This allows the learner to practice steering, MSPSL and Peep and Creep techniques. Meeting Traffic Meeting traffic is a situation where two vehicles are trying to pass through a space where only one car can pass. In these situations it is often vital to read the body language of the other vehicle. This is especially so where there are cars on both sides of the road and no priority exists. Abbeville Road is perfect to develop experience and understanding of this difficult topic. Roundabouts The roundabout where Atkins Road, Weir Road, Clarence Avenue and Thornton 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 Balham High Road or Streatham High 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 these routes. Areas to do manoeuvres
Reverse around a corner can be practiced at the corner of Thornton Road and Parkthorne Road. Another nice corner to use is the corner of Radbourne Road and Hydethorpe Road. The turn in the road exercise can be done down Radbourne Road. Parallel parking can be done in Copthorne Road. |
