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.
