What to expect on your first driving lesson

On your first lesson, we will start in a quiet location and begin with the basics of driving, including:

​

Car controls

​You'll learn how to use the car's controls, such as the pedals, gears, handbrake, and clutch. You'll also learn how to set up your seat and mirrors. We'll also demonstrate the use of the dual-controls.

​

Cockpit drill

You'll learn the cockpit drill, which is a routine you should perform every time you get in the car. This includes checking your doors, seat, steering, seatbelt, and mirrors.

​​

Simple maneuvers

You'll practice simple maneuvers, such as starting the car, moving away, braking and stopping safely, and changing gear.

​

We'll also ask about your previous driving experience but please do not worry if this is your first time behind the wheel. 

​

Also, remember it's normal to be a little nervous about your first driving lesson.  Knowing what to expect helps and keep in mind that everyone has to start somewhere.
