Frequently Asked Questions – Manual Driving Lessons
What is the difference between manual and automatic driving lessons?
Manual lessons teach you how to drive a car with a gear stick and clutch, while automatic cars handle gear changes for you. Manual gives you more control and flexibility, especially for certain jobs or international driving.
Do I need to learn in a manual car to get a full license?
No. You can get a full driving license in an automatic, but it will limit you to only driving automatic vehicles. A manual license allows you to drive both.
Is it harder to learn in a manual car?
Manual driving can be more challenging at first because of clutch control and gear changes, but many learners pick it up with regular practice.
How long will it take me to learn manual driving?
It varies by person, but most learners need between 40 to 50 hours of lessons with additional private practice. Manual learners may take slightly longer than automatic learners.
Can I switch from automatic to manual lessons?
Yes, you can switch, but you’ll need to start building manual-specific skills like clutch control and gear shifting.
What happens if I stall the car during a lesson?
Stalling is normal for beginners learning manual. Your instructor will help you understand why it happens and how to avoid it. It’s all part of learning.
Do your instructors teach clutch control and hill starts?
Yes, all of our manual lessons cover essential skills like clutch control, smooth gear changes, hill starts, and more.
Will I learn to drive in busy traffic areas?
Yes, once you’re confident with the basics, we gradually introduce you to more complex driving environments to build real-world experience.
Do your manual lessons include mock driving tests?
Absolutely. We offer mock tests to prepare you for the actual driving test conditions and help identify areas for improvement.
What type of car will I be learning in?
You’ll be learning in a modern, well-maintained manual transmission vehicle that’s fully insured and fitted with dual controls for safety.
