Who this session is for

If you’ve driven a manual for years, switching can feel strange. This session helps you find out how an automatic really feels, before you spend money on a new car.

Buying an automatic or electric car

Try one properly before you commit to spending thousands on a new car.

Unsure it’ll feel right

Years of gear changes build muscle memory. Find out how quickly you adapt, with someone beside you.

Learners struggling with the clutch

If manual lessons aren’t working, an automatic can make everything click. You’ll get an automatic licence when you pass.

90 minutes, built for experienced drivers

This isn’t a lesson in the traditional sense. It’s a relaxed, practical session designed for drivers making the switch, so you leave with a clear head and no lingering doubts.

Can I switch from manual to automatic lessons?

Yes, and plenty of learners do. The skills you’ve already learned carry over, and many people find they progress faster once the clutch is out of the picture. When you pass, you’ll get an automatic licence.

Most experienced drivers feel comfortable within the first session. Your left foot takes a little while to stop looking for the clutch, which is exactly what the 90 minutes is for.

The session is designed for full licence holders thinking of switching. If you’re a learner, message me and I’ll suggest the best way to start.

Yes. If you’d like more practice after the session, you can book standard lessons from £35 an hour.

Both. The VW ID.5 is fully electric, so it drives like an automatic, with no gears or clutch at all.
