Left/Right turns and emerging at T-Junctions WDS recommend doing a circuit which starts on High Drive, turns left on to Branksome Way, then at the crossroads turns right on to Woodlands Avenue. At the end of Woodlands Avenue we can emerge left on to High Drive and then turn left again on to Overdale Avenue. We can then turn right on to Oak Road. At the end of Oak Road we can emerge right on to Clarence Avenue and then turn right back on to High Drive. This allows the learner to practice steering, MSPSL and Peep and Creep techniques.
Crossroads The crossroads of Branksome Way and Woodlands Avenue 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. Roundabouts The roundabout where Park Road, Manorgate Road, Clifton Road, Kingston Hill and London 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 Kingston Hill 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 High Drive meets either Overdale Avenue or Woodlands Avenue. The parallel park can be done in High Drive. The Turn in the Road is also easily demonstrated on High Drive.

Driving Schools Kingston
Passing your driving test is generally considered to be a right of passage for most teenagers. Although some wait until they hit their early twenties to bite the bullet and attempt to get behind the wheel of a car all on their own, generally when adolescents hit the age of 17, they are quick to start booking lessons. It is advisable not to be so hasty in choosing a driving school, as there are many to choose from. Taking your time perusing the internet for positive feedback and glowing testimonials from people who have used a particular driving instructor is one way of selecting somewhere. At Wimbledon Driving School, instructors are regarded as being patient and having the necessary skills to give first time drivers the confidence behind the wheel. You may want to make the most of their offer of a discounted first lesson, to get a feel for what to expect from their instructors and to see if you will feel comfortable sharing a car with them for what can be quite a lengthy period of time. From their various driving schools Kingston is a popular location, presumably as a result of its fashionable locale. Once you’ve managed to find someone you feel you can trust, the next step is to take your theory test, which most people see as an easy ride. However, from personal experience, although the questions are not particularly challenging, make sure to put at least a few hours study into passing the exam, as if you fail, not only will it cost you money and time to repeat the exam, you will be left feeling somewhat embarrassed at failing a relatively straightforward examination. The knowledge gleamed from the theory test will also put you in a good position to pass your practical test.
