What to Expect from Your Lessons
How Your Lessons Progress
| Stage | Where you’ll practise | What you’ll learn |
|---|---|---|
| Getting started | Quiet residential streets in Berrylands and Hook | Controls, moving off, stopping and steering |
| Building confidence | Ewell Road, Tolworth Broadway and Ditton Road | Junctions, roundabouts and parking |
| Test-ready | A3 Kingston Bypass, Tolworth Roundabout and Hook Roundabout | Dual carriageways, multi-lane roundabouts, independent driving and mock tests |
Manual lessons give you a licence to drive both manual and automatic cars. Automatic lessons remove the clutch and gears, so you can concentrate on observation and lane choice, which many learners find helpful at Tolworth Roundabout and when joining the A3.
| Manual Lessons | Automatic Lessons | |
|---|---|---|
| Clutch and gears | You control both | The car changes gear for you |
| Early lessons focus on | Car control and gear changes | Road awareness and hazards |
| Multi-lane roundabouts (Tolworth Roundabout) | Gear changes and lane choice together | More focus on lanes and observation |
| Joining the A3 | Smooth gear changes while building speed | Simpler, so you can focus on merging |
| Licence covers | Manual and automatic cars | Automatic cars only |
| Best for | Full flexibility | Nervous learners and a faster focus on roadcraft |
An automatic pass only covers automatic cars. To drive a manual car later, you’ll need to pass a manual practical test.
