Why Choose

Automatic Driving Lessons?

Learning to drive in a manual car is not for everyone – for many people, automatic driving lessons are a far better option.

​

As a DSA licensed driving instructor, I am experienced in teaching first-timers and in helping those who are nervous drivers or who have struggled to master a manual gear box in the past. Older people who are learning to drive often find coping with a manual car rather daunting and often find handling the co-ordination of just two foot pedals much easier.

​

As there is no clutch pedal, an automatic car may be easier to drive – especially on more congested city roads – and if you are having difficulties managing the gears in a manual car, you may find that taking automatic driving lessons is a faster route to your licence. Some people just prefer automatic transmissions for city driving as busy traffic means more frequent gear changes for manual drivers.

​

Before you decide whether to book driving lessons in an automatic or manual car, it’s important to keep in mind that an automatic licence does not permit you to drive a manual car once you have passed your test.
