Manual or automatic?

In a manual car you learn to use the clutch and change gears. If you pass your test in a manual, your licence covers manual and automatic cars. An automatic has no clutch or gear changes, so many learners find the first lessons less demanding — but a test passed in an automatic only lets you drive automatics. Fastlanez teaches both across East London.

Can't decide? Tell us what you plan to drive after you pass and we'll help you choose.
