Get Shifting is a driving school that is focused on teaching the skills required to drive a manual car in a confident, competent and above all a safe manner. We are highly experienced in driving manual gearshift cars and are passionate about keeping this skill alive!
We understand that everyone learns differently and has different expectations, our aim is to be your partner in your driver training experience. We will work with you to give you the knowledge you need, the skills required and the confidence to take these and apply them to your driving.
Did you know that in NSW you don't have to pass your test in a manual car to be eligible to drive manual? The only restriction you have is if you pass your test in an automatic then for the first year (on red P's) you can only drive automatic, after that there is no restriction (subject to no special conditions on your licence). However, learning to drive a manual will take additional skills and requires practice to build up muscle memory, so if you want to be a smooth and confident driver then professional training is essential.
You can take lessons with us but practice and build up your hours in your family automatic, you can even take your test in the family car but knowing that you also have the skills to drive a manual. We will cover all the driving skills and knowledge you require to be a safe driver and to pass your test either in our manual car or your own automatic. If you choose to take your test in an automatic then when you get your green P's we can provide refresher lessons on driving a manual if required.
Already have your full licence but would like to, or need to, learn how to drive a manual? The good news is you don't need to apply for a different licence or take another test!! You just need to learn how to choose the right gear, change gear smoothly, start and stop correctly and deal with challenging situations like a hill start. The good news is we can help you and we have reduced rate lessons for experienced drivers.
Join us at Get Shifting for your driver training journey and embark on the path to becoming a skilled, confident and most importantly, safe driver.
