Learning to drive in Burnage
Burnage is a favourite of ours for learners. The residential streets off Burnage Lane and Green End Road are calm enough for your first lessons, and then you have Kingsway (A34) — a proper dual carriageway with big signalised junctions — right on your doorstep for building speed, lane discipline and confidence.
Add Fog Lane, Mauldeth Road, Parrs Wood and the M60 slip roads at Cheadle and you’ve covered almost everything the test can throw at you without leaving M19 and M20. Our instructors teach in Burnage and Didsbury every week.
Your test will most likely be at West Didsbury, a few minutes away, with Bredbury (Stockport) and Sale as alternatives. You’ll have driven the routes many times before the day.
