Questions
Do I need a license first?
Yes. This course is for licensed drivers or learners who have already finished basic lessons.
Will I stall?
Probably, and that’s fine. Stalling in a parking lot is how everyone learns.
Can I learn in my own manual car?
After the first lesson, yes. We start in ours because it has a second brake.
