What can beginners expect?
There are many quiet residential streets in West Bromwich and surrounding areas for beginners.
There is an estate off Spon Lane, which consists of level roads and is perfect for learning to move off, stopping in a straight line and at an angle, clutch control plus turning left and right. Nearby, you can practice uphill and downhill starts in Lyng Lane where you will also learn how to deal with a one way street by the Linkway Medical Centre.
Claypit Lane by George Salter Academy is another area of West Bromwich that is suitable for beginner drivers. It is very similar to the area described above, but with a little more traffic, especially in the mornings and afternoons during the school run. The Tantany estate by Hargate Primary School is perfect for downhill and uphill stops and starts.
What can advanced learners expect?
West Bromwich High Street is great for learning about the different types of pedestrian crossings including pelican, toucan, puffin, and zebra. There are many challenges such as buses stopping and moving off. This how you will learn how to overtake them safely.
We may also drive through Junction 1 of the M5, a very large and busy roundabout with multiple traffic lights and filter lanes.
Do you offer motorway lessons?
Yes, we offer motorway driving lessons. West Bromwich is located next to where the M5 starts at J1 and there are two motorway interchanges within a reasonable driving distance.

“I think Rita is a driving instructor for anyone. She is extremely friendly and pushes you in the right direction to do things which end up making you a better driver and progressing you at a faster rate than you would even expect. I feel like she has had confidence in me even from the first lesson which has given me extra confidence to be better. I’ve enjoyed my lessons with her and I don’t feel like I would have had as much success with another instructor.”
