"To Farooq & Wimbledon Driving School,
I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the excellent services of Wimbledon Driving School. I was very fortunate to pass my test for the first time on 8th May at Morden.
Farooq had the patience of a saint assisting me with his techniques and boosting my confidence on the roads. His sheer determination is an attribute to the quality of the staff at Wimbledon Driving School.
In regards to quality, Farooq showed up before my lessons 5/ 10 mins early. He managed the time efficiently and I always felt that I learnt more after each lesson. I never felt that I was inundated with too much information; driving skills and manoeuvres were carried out at a pace that I could manage. Farooq is an excellent tutor and very personable.
In regards to the school I commend it highly and will recommend to others.
Again I do appreciate everything. The price of the lessons are very reasonable, the cars are good quality and Farooq was an excellent tutor.
Thank you very much & wishing you all the best."
Laura McGlynn, Earlsfield, London

Areas to do controls/Moving off & Stopping
It is best to start this subject on a quiet road like Sispara Gardens.
Left/Right turns and emerging at T-Junctions
WDS recommend doing a circuit which starts on Melrose Road, turns left on to West Hill Road, takes the left on to Viewfield Road and then takes the second left on to Seymour Road. At the end of Seymour Road we can turn left on to Wimbledon Park Road and then shortly afterwards take the left on to West Hill Road. After emerging we can take the first right on to the slip road which is half West Hill Road but then becomes Wimbledon Park Road. At the end of this road we can turn right back on to Wimbledon Park Road. Then if we go ahead at the crossroads over West Hill Road to the other side of Wimbledon Park Road and take the first right on to Seymour Road. At the end of the road we can turn right on to Viewfield Road and then right back on to Melrose Road. This allows the learner to practice steering, MSPSL and Peep and Creep techniques..
Crossroads
The crossroads of Gressenhall Road and Melrose Road can be used to illustrate priorities and the extra observation applied at crossroads. The intersection of Kimber Road, Swaffield Road and Garratt Lane can be used to provide instruction on the methods of turning right-to-right at a crossroads.
Roundabouts
The roundabout by Wimbledon Park Road and Granville Road is useful to illustrate priorities and the appropriate signals for a given exit. For a big three lane roundabout try Tibbets roundabout.
Pedestrian Crossings and use of Signals
Driving down Garratt Lane, Trinity Road or Merton 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 these routes.
Areas to do manoeuvres
The corner of Wimbledon Park Road and Melrose Road can be used for a left reverse. Parking can be done down Melrose Road. The turn in the road exercise can also be done down Melrose Road.
