Areas to do controls/Moving off & Stopping

It is best to start this subject on a quiet road like Birchwood Road. 

Left/Right turns and emerging at T-Junctions 

WDS recommend doing a circuit which starts on Birchwood Road and follows the road around to the left on to Chillerton Road, turns right on to Spalding Road, takes the second left on to Moyser Road and emerges right on to Furzedown Drive, to take the next left back on to Birchwood Road . This allows the learner to practice steering, MSPSL and Peep and Creep techniques.

Crossroads

The crossroads of Crowborough Road, Moyser Road and Furzedown Drive  can be used to illustrate priorities and the extra observation applied at crossroads. The intersection of  Tooting High Street and Mitcham Road can be used to provide instruction on the methods of turning right-to-right at a crossroads.

Roundabouts 

The roundabouts at the end of Church Lane by Furzedown Road 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 Tooting High Street on to Upper Tooting 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 

Manoeuvres can be done down Birchwood Road.
