DRIVING LESSONS IN CARSHALTON, SURREY, SM5

We are a recommended Carshalton driving school established over 14 years offering good quality driving tuition by a fully qualified driving instructor. Our driving instructor covering Carshalton is very familiar with the local roads and those around the Sutton test centre.

Carshalton is a bottleneck with traffic converging from Sutton to the West, Coulsdon to the south, Wallington and Croydon to the east and Morden and Mitcham to the north. In spite of this there are places for Carshalton Driving Schools to find suitable locations for their new drivers. The best areas are to the south, where the residential properties tend to be bigger with large driveways and fewer cars parked roadside leaving the roads more open.

Leaving Sutton by Cedar Road and dropping south towards Carshalton Beeches via Langley Park Road brings the Carshalton driving instructor to The Highway and its adjacent roads. The Highway is excellent for that first driving lesson. There are very few parked cars and it is a quiet residential road with a gentle sweeping bend. This helps the Driving School in Carshalton teach steering and positioning with little risk of interruption from approaching cars

These roads are very useful for giving Carshalton driving tuition on the manoeuvres. The Causeway has a clear open junction, which is ideal for introducing reversing round a corner.

As the new driver gains confidence and gets better at turning left, right and emerging out of side roads, the time will come for the Carshalton Driving School to develop in to more demanding roads. Banstead Road and South Banstead Road lead towards the right turn at Staplehurst Road, which leads in turn to Stanley Park Road and Wallington. There are some great hills on this route especially crossing Woodmansterne Road and Beeches Avenue.

Warnham Court Road is a useful circuit but the roads do get narrow with parked cars. These couple of roads lead to Sussex Road, which offers the challenge of emerging uphill with an open junction allowing the new driver to decide early if it is safe to emerge. Second gear may be okay for turning on to Crichton Road if clear, in spite of the uphill gradient.

From the roundabout on Stanley Park Road you can turn right on to the south side of Boundary Road. A good circuit can be developed here by Driving Schools in Carshalton. The roads are quiet but narrow. There are some parked cars but not enough to lose the advantage of these quiet roads with gentle gradients and mini roundabout junctions. The local driving instructor in Carshalton will find two bends at the top of Boundary Road where Briar Lane leads back downhill via Pine Ridge. On the left is Cranfield Road East where there is a sharp left hand corner ideal for practising the reverse to the left.

Coming back over Stanley Park Road is a staggered junction to Anglesey Gardens. Left at the end leads to Woodfield Avenue. This runs adjacent to Stanley Park Recreation Ground and with parked cars on the left it is just a single lane back up to Stanley Park Road. If Carshalton driving instructors want a really narrow road though, then look no further than Brookside which runs parallel to the High Street; just a few inches clearance from door mirrors on either side.

The High Street by Acre Lane has the Charles Cryer Studio Theatre as one of its main attributes. There is an interesting junction off North Street for Carshalton driving lessons. This is where Butter Hill meets Mill Lane. As the driver approaches Mill Lane from Butter Hill, the road narrows to one lane and there is priority for any vehicle turning in to Butter Hill from the main road. The new driver should approach with caution.

North Street leads to Green Wrythe Lane, which has many local side roads to practise in. The roundabout at Middleton Road leads to Morden to the west and Beddington to the east. Wrythe Lane takes you past St Helier Hospital to the Rose Hill roundabout between Sutton and Morden.

The nearest Test Centres to the area are Morden, Sutton and Croydon.
