Hi I know how frustrating it is to get a test. I'm local instructor my favourite test centres are Westwickham and Bromley. Also few others that are ok and fairly local. Hither Green Sidcup Mitcham. Another centre I use is Sevenoaks. Trying to get a test that's the problem at the moment. Go on DVSA sight first thing in morning Monday around 6 am best and just keep searching. Good luck!

Nicholas replied to monica's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Although didn?t witness this I Can?t believe that the police don?t consider this a nasty incident. What?s point of the police? -
Nice little earner (penalty charge notices in Dulwich)

As a local driving instructor these new closures signage all around dulwich not only confusing very stressful at certain times of the day the traffic is terrible and it pushes the problem somewhere else. If the council thinks its greener I don?t know who advised them because in my eyes it makes things much worse. I?m all for less pollution and well thought out traffic calming etc. Maybe put parking fees all in Dulwich village permit parking just other day two rather large shiny 4by4?s so desperate to park as close as possible to Gales causing unnecessary traffic congestion! -
Just seen this. So sorry to hear that. 😞

Locked because there are a few threads already about this - Admin Hi everyone I I think a lot of people will think the same about what I?m going to say. The traffic in and around Dulwich at times it?s gridlock and schools aren?t even back yet.I?m all for traffic calming cutting down on pollution etc, i really don?t think that some of the road closures are really helping, in fact I?d say the opposite it only pushes extra traffic onto neighbouring roads and consequently pushes the problem somewhere else just the other day the traffic was queueing from the picture gallery right up to East Dulwich Road and down to lordship Lane and beyond.We are only talking early afternoon-it?s crazy! While I was in the traffic jam two ambulances on emergency calls were completely stuck and seriously delayed! I hope the council really does look at this problem seriously and intelligently!

Hi everyone it?s been confirmed that driving lessons can resume from Monday 12th April. And driving tests and theory will continue soon after. Whether your a refresher or a beginner feel free to contact me for an informal chat or to book. Lessons in own car more than welcome! Regards Nicholas

Certain times of the day it will be okay plus not all schools are back. On a cycle it?s not really a problem we are talking more about traffic cars and road closure inconvenience with poor signage. Wait when all schools are back and 8.30am and 3.30 pm onwards expecting bad jams.

I?m all for sensible traffic calming and certain closers, traffic pollution etc. When they close a road with no advanced warning consequently your getting lots vehicles having to do 3point turns galore extra revving of the engines etc and then the problem moves to another part of the area. As I said in this pandemic a lot more people will be using there cars as public transport not safe. You?ve only got to go past some local schools during drop off and pick up just to see the chaos and not to mention the huge 4+4?s etc it?s a shame that so many aren?t that local if they need use vehicles to take kids to school!

That junction at most time?s by the village it?s pretty dangerous.I remember when it was being done caused months traffic chaos, to be honest it hasn?t really improved much. With the gov trying to encourage us off public transport and more into our cars due to the pandemic I don?t think it?s that smart blocking or shutting roads right now. All it does is cause more traffic and pushes the problem onto other roads, consequently they become rat runs. Once all the local schools are back I dread to think what it will be like!

Did anyone see a Clarkes coach scrape my car last week?
Nicholas replied to mikeb's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Hi, I?m local driving instructor I?ve been serving Dulwich and surrounding for many years I?ve noticed the increase in large coaches buses on that road parked up engines running etc that?s a concern. One of the main problems is that some vehicles park badly and so damn close to those barriers/crossings etc it?s not easy with a normal sized car it must be near impossible to negotiate those huge buses safely unfortunately I?m not surprised that parked cars get hit it?s not only the coaches you need worry about it?s poor driving from others who have none or very little spatial awareness. I think the school and council need to enforce a no parking area especially near those barriers etc. It?s not fair that legally and sensibly parked cars and residents have to worry particularly during school runs! Good news 6/7 weeks rest bite!
