Learning to drive in Bristol

Lessons start at the McDonald’s on the corner of Bath Road and Emery Road in Brislington.

On day one, your instructor will take you to a quiet residential area to start with the basics such as getting into gear, starting, stopping and turning. 

The A4 Bath Road here is a busy main route with part-time bus lanes, yellow box junctions and several sets of traffic lights, so observation and lane discipline are learnt early in the week. 

The A4174 ring road gives dual carriageway practice towards Keynsham and Hengrove, getting you through the gears and used to driving at higher speeds. 

Brislington Hill and the streets towards Arnos Vale and Knowle bring steep climbs, parked cars and hill starts, and the approaches to Temple Meads add multi-lane traffic and bus flows. 

The Bristol (Brislington) practical test centre is on Flowers Hill, just off the A4 Bath Road. Routes often include Bath Road, Brislington Hill, the ring road and the mini roundabouts around Sandy Park. We’ll cover these in your driving week.
