Dual Control and Clutch Control
Dual control systems are great benefit for any driving instructor. But there are also other aspects the students have to master. Let's take a look at why clutch control so important.
When it comes to teaching students how to drive, there are many aspects to consider. Clutch control is one of the most important technique they need to learn. In general, it takes around 3 to 4 hours of on road training for a student to master this. It can sometimes take longer. It is important for instructors to ensure that students master this as early as possible.
This is one of the reasons why driving instructors make use of dual control systems in their vehicles. It allows to take control whenever needed.
It will also help their students to learn clutch control easier. New students tend to keep their foot on the clutch pedal. This is not very good driving practice. This is why it's important for instructors to teach drivers clutch control early. They need to be comfortable with this skill.
If there is evidence of errors with clutch control, they need to be corrected. Instructors need to communicate that it is not necessary to keep your foot of the clutch. Students often feel that they need to this, in case of an emergency situation. However, this is not necessary to do at all.
When instructing a new driver, it's more important to change their attitude than simply the physical action.
