Areas to do controls/Moving off & Stopping

It is best to start this subject on a quiet road like The Ridge.

Left/Right turns and emerging at T-Junctions

WDS recommend doing a circuit which starts on The Ridge, emerges left on to Surbiton hill park, turns left on to Regent Road and then emerges left on to Berrylands.  We can turn right on to Pine Walk and emerge left on to Chiltern Drive.  Then if we turn left on to The Crest and at the end of the road emerge left on to Berrylands we can take the first right back on to The Ridge.  This allows the learner to practice steering, MSPSL and Peep and Creep techniques.

Crossroads

The crossroads of  Avenue South, Manor Drive,  Kings Drive and Courtlands Road can be used to illustrate priorities and the extra observation applied at crossroads. The intersection of  Ewell Road,    Tolworth Broadway,  Elgar Avenue and Princes Avenue can be used to provide instruction on the methods of turning right-to-right at a crossroads. 

Roundabouts

The roundabout where Elmbridge Avenue, Raeburn Avenue and Surbiton Hill Park 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 Ewell Road and Tolworth 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 

The  Reverse around the Corner exercise can be carried out where Berrylands meets either The Ridge or The Crest. The parallel park can be done in Berrylands. The Turn in the Road is also easily demonstrated on Regent Road.
