Automatic driving lessons in The Meadows

The Meadows sits just south of the city centre, between the railway station and the River Trent, which makes it a handy and varied place to learn. You have quiet estate streets for early lessons, the busy Queen's Drive for steady main-road driving, and tram crossings to get comfortable with, all within a few minutes of the city. We plan each lesson around where you are starting from and build up at a pace that suits you.

Where you will learn around The Meadows

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

• Meadows Way and the roads around the estate, for low-speed control and observation
• Queen's Drive and the busier routes towards the ring road and the station
• The tram crossings on the NET line, so they quickly feel routine
• Wilford Grove and the quieter residential streets for early lessons and manoeuvres
• Trent Bridge and the routes over the river towards West Bridgford and the city

Getting ready for your test at Colwick

Your practical test will be at the Nottingham (Colwick) test centre, a short drive east along the river from The Meadows. We make sure you are confident on the kind of roads, roundabouts and junctions the examiner uses, and as your test nears we run mock tests under realistic conditions. There is more on our Colwick test preparation page, linked below.

Why automatic works well here

With no clutch and no gears to think about, an automatic lets you focus on the road, your positioning and your decisions. Around the tram crossings and the busier city-edge roads by The Meadows, that makes a real difference, especially for nervous learners.

Do you cover all of The Meadows?

We teach across The Meadows and the surrounding NG2 area, subject to availability. Get in touch with your postcode and your usual availability and we will let you know what we can offer.

I am nervous about the tram crossings. Can you help?

Yes. We take them step by step until they feel routine, so the tram lines and crossings around The Meadows stop being something to worry about.

Can I use your car for my test at Colwick?

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.
