Gear Changes for test preparation learners in South Harrow

How we teach gear changes

Good gear choice supports safe speed and control; the road situation should determine the gear, not habit alone. For test preparation learners, the priority is driving safely without prompts and responding calmly when plans change.

• Coordinate clutch and gear lever smoothly
• Choose a gear for the road and speed
• Avoid looking down during changes
