At our driving school we aim to try and cover every corner of the U.K. We want everyone to be able to learn to drive with the best which is why we have instructors all over the country.

The Royal Town of Sutton Coldfield has a test centre, meaning that if you take your driving lessons in Sutton Coldfield, you will already be familiar with the test routes. However, as Sutton Coldfield is less than 8 miles from the centre of Birmingham, you can choose to have your test at another location if you wish.

Where you decide to take your test is personal preference, and your instructor will be able to guide you on the best location for you. If you wanted to take your test in Kingstanding or Litchfield, for example, our local driving instructors would help you learn those test routes and prepare for your test.

If you are new to driving, your driving instructor will ensure that you start in a quiet area, away from the distractions and pressure of traffic. Fortunately, in the Royal Town of Sutton Coldfield, there are plenty of suitable roads, including those in Roughley and around Hill Hook, such as Lowercroft Way. Here, you will get to grips with the basic controls of the car and learn how to move off, stop, steer, use the clutch, and how to turn left and right from a major to minor road.

Once you are feeling confident with these, your instructor will have you driving around the quieter areas of the town, meeting traffic and learning how to emerge from T Junctions. As you progress, you will find yourself tackling trickier areas, such as the cross roads between Anchorage Road, Lichfield Road and Tamworth Road as well as the town centre.
