Our driving school proudly serves the Merton 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 . In Wimbledon this would be Parkside Gardens. In Mitcham this would be Victoria Road. In Morden this would be Milner Road. For Raynes Park and Merton Park;  Erridge Road is ideal.

Left/Right turns and emerging at T-Junctions

WDS recommends using the roads around Parkside Gardens for the Wimbledon area;  the roads around Erridge Road for the Merton Park and Raynes Park areas;  the roads around Seddon Road for the Morden area and the roads around St.Barnabus Road for the Mitcham area. These areas allow the learner to practice steering, MSPSL and Peep and Creep techniques.

Crossroads

The crossroads of Epsom Road and Tudor Drive 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. Dudley Drive in Morden is perfect to develop experience and understanding of this difficult topic. 

Roundabouts

The Beverley roundabout 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 Wimbledon Hill Road into the Broadway 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 

Manoeuvres can be carried out in the roads off Victoria Road in Mitcham, the roads off Parkside Gardens in Wimbledon, the roads off Seddon road in Morden and in Erridge Road for Merton Park and Raynes Park.
