Driving Lessons In Gillingham

Your driving instructor in Gillingham will tailor their driving lessons to your particular requirements and needs. They will start you off in a quiet residential area, somewhere like Dial Close or Christmas Street, where you won't be disturbed by lots of traffic.

Once you grow in confidence, your instructor will take you on busier roads, like Canterbury Street. You will be taught how to tackle tricky junctions, like the Nelson Road / Gillingham Road / Duncan Road / Trafalgar Street intersection. No doubt your instructor will have you on A289 as soon as possible as this is a great road to practice dual carriageways and roundabouts on. You will also venture outside of Gillingham, travelling into Chatham, Rainham, Rochester and other nearby areas. As you will likely be taking your driving test at the Gillingham test centre, your driving instructor will likely plan to teach you the local test routes here, unless you have booked your test at another test centre.

Rest assured, your driving instructor in Gillingham will progress your lessons in line with your progress and at a speed you are happy with.

Filled with predominantly built-up residential areas, this small town in Kent is ideal for practicing stopping, starting and giving way to other road users. During your first driving lesson in Gillingham, your instructor is likely to steer clear of the central town and instead, head up towards the River Medway to the more industrial areas. Industrial estates, particularly those on Pier Road, are perfect for beginners as they allows drivers to get the hang of basic driving skills using long stretches of roads and quiet car parks. Once your confidence grows and you feel comfortable behind the wheel, your instructor will then begin to go through popular test routes. Although Gillingham is small, it does have its own test centre. However, unlike many other test centres, it is not located in an industrial or residential estate. Instead, it is just off the busy Hoath Way dual carriageway. Both ends of Hoath Way finish with a large, complex roundabout, which means that during your test, you will be thrown straight into the deep end. To the north of Hoath Way is Bowaters Roundabout, which includes a three-lane system, along with traffic lights. On the other hand, if you head south of the dual carriageway, will be a triple roundabout with one large roundabout and smaller ones either side.

Many of our learners have full time jobs or other commitments which mean that they cannot have lessons between 9am and 5pm. We are pleased to have driving instructors in Gillingham who offer driving lessons outside of these hours, from 6am in the morning to 7pm at night and on the weekends as well! If you would prefer to book driving lessons during these times, simply contact our Bookings and Enquiries Team on 0330 124 4877 and they will pair you with one of our friendly, expert driving instructors in the area who can help.
