Areas to do controls/Moving off & Stopping
Try Atkins road for moving off and stopping and familiarizing yourself with the controls.

Left/Right turns and emerging at T-Junctions
Affinity Driving School recommends the following circuit for carrying out turns and emerging at T-junctions:
Begin on Emmanuel Road, turn left on to Glenfield Road and then emerge right on to Burnbury Road. Continue along to the end of this road where you can emerge left on to the Radbourne Road. The next left will take you on to Midmoor Road, at the end of which you can emerge left on to Haverhill Road. From here you can turn back on to Emmanuel Road. This circuit provides a tried and tested method for allowing you to practice steering, MSPSL and peep and creep techniques.

Meeting Traffic
When two cars meet and yet there is only room for one to pass, this is known as meeting traffic. The body language of the other car is key to knowing how to proceed. Practice in Abbeville Road to gain a good understanding of this.

Roundabouts
Atkins Road, Weir Road, Clarence Avenue and Thornton Road meet at a roundabout where the student can gain a good understanding of how to negotiate and cross them safely. Priorities, positioning and the appropriate signals to use can be practiced here.

Pedestrian Crossings and use of Signals
Balham High Road or Streatham High Road both hold plenty of crossings from which the student can gain experience on how to negotiate them correctly.

Areas to do Maneuvers
The corner of Thornton Road and Parkthorne Road provide a good place to carry out reversing around a corner. Also the corner of Radbourne Road and Hydethorpe suitable. A turn in the road can be practiced on Radbourne Road, and parallel parking is possible in Copthorne Road.
