How does learning manual in Carshalton start?
Your instructor picks you up in Carshalton and starts from where you are. For a complete beginner that means the controls, the clutch and the biting point, then moving off and stopping smoothly, well before busier roads come into it. Clutch control takes practice, so the pace follows your progress rather than a timetable. Our guide to moving off and stopping shows what those first sessions involve.
