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 Battersea (SW11 & SW8)Our driving school proudly serves the Battersea (SW11 & SW8) area 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 Sabine Road. Theatre Street can be used for uphill starts. Left/Right turns and emerging at T-Junctions WDS recommend doing a circuit which starts on Sabine Road, turns left on to Grayshott Road and then turns right on to Ashbury Road. Taking the second right takes us on to Brassey Square. At the end of Brassey Square we can emerge right on to Sabine Road and take the first right on to Brassey Square. If we emerge left we are back on to Ashbury Road. At the crossroads of Ashbury and Grayshott road if we proceed ahead we will be able to emerge left on to Eversleigh Road. We can then emerge left back on to Sabine Road. This allows the learner to practice steering, MSPSL and Peep and Creep techniques.
Crossroads The crossroads of Queenstown Road, Lavender Hill, Cedars Road and Wandsworth 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. 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. Parkgate Road is perfect to develop experience and understanding of this difficult topic. Roundabouts The roundabout where Queenstown Road and Prince Of Wales Drive 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 Wandsworth 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 Brassey Square meets Morrison Street. The parallel park can be done in Eversleigh Road. The Turn in the Road is easily demonstrated on Brassey Square.
