Driving Schools Tooting (SW17)
Our driving school proudly serves the Tooting (SW17)
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 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.

‘I really wanted to pass my driving test, I needed the independence, but I have always been nervous. The Wimbledon Driving School instructor put me at ease immediately. Fully trained by the AA, he was calm and patient and that helped me not to panic, even at the beginning when everything seems so tricky. Passing the test has really helped my self confidence’.
Based upon the real experiences of a WDS pupil aged 17.
