Is manual tuition right for you?
A manual driving test pass normally allows you to drive manual and automatic cars. If you want that flexibility and are happy to learn clutch and gear control, manual tuition may suit you. If you would prefer to remove gear changes from the learning process, explore our automatic lessons.
