Key Areas For Learning To Drive in Stafford

When you’re learning to drive in Stafford you’ll need to learn how to forward plan, to deal with the many multi-lane junctions. This is something your 4 Wheelz driving instructor will build you up to be able to do.

During your driving lessons you will learn how to navigate the difficult roads around Stafford, including the three lane roundabouts found in the centre of Stafford. Gaol Square and the Queensway roundabout both feature multiple lanes and five exits from the roundabouts. These roundabouts are what is known as spiral form roundabouts, so your planning and scanning skills need to be top notch to make sure you are positioned in the right lane for the exit road required. Using your indicators to correctly signal your intended direction of travel is really important to ensure there is no confusion for other road users, as the spiral lanes direct you away from the roundabout it will be important to time the cancellation of the signal at this point to avoid any incidents. These junctions can prove to be overwhelming and stressful at the best of times, let alone for a learner driver. But you’ll be coached by your 4 Wheelz instructor to deal with these situations calmly and confidently.

There are also several roundabouts which require you to be in the right hand lane on the approach even though you are following the road ahead. Local knowledge would help however reading the road ahead for signs will enable you to position correctly.

Another key area for learner drivers is Baswich Lane, which is on the outskirts of Stafford. Here you will cross three bridges, all of which only allow one stream of traffic through at a time. Your driving instructor will teach you how to forward plan for this obstacle so that you are able to tackle it comfortably.
