Automatic driving lessons in Bobbers Mill

Bobbers Mill is a small area where Hyson Green, Basford and Aspley meet, right on the ring road. That makes it a great base for learning: quiet residential streets for your first lessons, then multi-lane main roads and large traffic-light junctions within a few minutes when you are ready for them. We plan each lesson around where you are starting from.

Where you will learn around Bobbers Mill

As you build confidence, we work on the roads and junctions learners meet most often around Bobbers Mill, including:

• Alfreton Road (A610), a busy multi-lane route in and out of the city
• Western Boulevard (A6514) and the ring road towards Basford and Aspley
• The large traffic-light junction where Alfreton Road meets the ring road, for lane choice and reading the lights
• Bobbers Mill Road and the roads towards Hyson Green
• Quieter residential streets for early lessons and manoeuvres

Getting ready for your test

We prepare you for your practical test from your first lesson. As it gets closer, we make sure you are confident on the kind of roads, roundabouts and junctions examiners use, and we run mock tests under realistic conditions, so test day feels familiar rather than daunting.

Why automatic works well here

Big junctions and multi-lane roads ask a lot of a new driver: choosing a lane, reading the lights, checking mirrors and blind spots. In an automatic you have no clutch or gears to think about, so all of your attention goes on those decisions.

Do you cover all of Bobbers Mill?

We teach across Bobbers Mill and the neighbouring parts of NG7 and NG8, subject to availability. Get in touch with your postcode and your usual availability and we will let you know what we can offer.

How will I cope with the big junctions on the ring road?

We build up to them. Once you are comfortable on quieter roads, we talk through each junction before we drive it, so you know which lane you want and what to look for.

Can I use your car for my test?

Yes, subject to availability and your readiness. You can book our dual-control automatic for the test, with a warm-up lesson beforehand. See the prices page for details.
