Learning to drive is more than just a practical skill; it’s a gateway to a world of possibilities, offering numerous benefits that extend far beyond simply getting from point A to point B. At its core, driving provides freedom and independence, empowering individuals to chart their course through life’s journeys.

One of the greatest advantages of learning to drive is independence. No longer reliant on public transportation schedules or the availability of others for rides, drivers have the flexibility to travel on their own terms. This is why we encourage driving lessons in Colchester.

Learn to drive in Colchester

As one of Essex’s largest and busiest towns, it doesn’t come as too much of a surprise to learn that Colchester has some of the county’s most dangerous roads. This is no reason not to learn to drive here, though—it simply means you need to keep your wits about you when behind the wheel, and employ defensive driving techniques to keep yourself safe.

Learners in the Colchester area will begin their test in an industrial estate in the Old Heath area of town, before progressing on to urban, suburban and rural roads in the local area. It’ll certainly put your abilities under the microscope.

Driving instructors in Colchester say that the best way to hone your driving skills fast is to put in some private practice. The DVSA actually recommends 22 hours of private practice before taking the practical driving test! Here are some top spots to head to between your driving lessons in Colchester.

Errington Road: Errington Road and the residential roads parallel to it are good practice spots if you’re looking to hone your manoeuvres like pulling up on the right and reversing two car lengths, or parallel parking. They’re usually made fairly narrow by parked cars on both sides, so you can also use the opportunity to familiarise yourself with passing distances and rights of way.

Berechurch Hall Road: If you’re just getting to grips with the basics of roundabout driving, head to Berechurch Hall Road. It’s a wide, straight road with three simple roundabouts on it. Get comfortable here before heading onto our next practice spot…

The A134: If you take this urban dual carriageway south from Wickes to Aldi, you’ll encounter a grand total of five roundabouts! Not bad for just one road if you’re after some more advanced roundabout practice! Start a little further north near Colchester Hospital if you want to throw in a couple of box junctions too.

Bakers Lane: Bakers Lane is one of many rural roads surrounding Colchester. Narrow, winding roads like this are perfect for some practice because it can be difficult to judge the appropriate speed to drive at – especially when you also take into account changing weather conditions!

The A12: While there are many urban dual carriageways in Colchester, there aren’t many high speed dual carriageways. The A12 is a national speed limit dual carriageway that’s great for perfecting changing lanes and using slip roads.
