Driving Lessons in Great Barr

Learning to drive in Great Barr is an exciting step toward independence, and with Justpass Driving School, you will be taught by experienced instructors who are patient and know their area inside out. Whether you’re a complete beginner or preparing for your practical driving test, our tailored lessons will help you build confidence and become a safe, capable driver.

Why Learn to Drive in Great Barr?

Great Barr will prove to be an ideal area for learner drivers since it encompasses busy main roads, residential streets, and roundabouts that are a little challenging, offering great practical experience. During your lessons, you will drive along the following routes:

  • Queslett Road (A4041) – a very busy main road; will contain traffic lights and roundabouts, excellent to practice lane discipline and anticipation.
  • Walsall Road (A34): A major through-road with buses, crossings, and multi-lane sections to give practice in developing confidence when driving in busier conditions.
  • Newton Road (A4041): ideal for developing observation and planning at junctions, together with learning safe speed control.
  • Residential streets off Booths Lane and Pheasey estate: quieter roads where you can practice manoeuvres, clutch control, and meeting traffic safely.
  • Scott Arms junction: One of the busiest junctions here, great to practice: signalling, gap selection, confident positioning.

Learning on these roads ensures that one becomes comfortable with all types of driving scenarios.

Local Challenges to Overcome

The driving lessons in Great Barr come with several challenges, and our instructors will help you handle each with confidence; these include:

  • Busy traffic, especially around Scott Arms during peak hours.
  • Multi-lane roundabouts on Queslett Road and Walsall Road that require good timing and positioning.
  • Narrow residential roads with parked cars requiring careful judgement and slow-speed control.
  • High pedestrian activity near shops, schools, and bus routes.

We introduce these gradually, making sure that you feel calm, prepared, and in control at all stages in your learning.

Learners based in Great Barr are well-placed for several Birmingham-area test centres, including:
