Why Learn to Drive an Automatic?

Automatic vehicles have no clutch pedal, and all you have to do with the gear selector is select D (Drive) before moving away and gears are selected automatically as you drive along.

With the problem of choosing and selecting gears out of the way you will be able to concentrate on planning ahead, steering and anticipating what other road user might do, generally making driving much easier.

Learn in Less Time

Automatic cars take less time to learn to drive than manual vehicles, this can be of benefit to those who wish to learn quickly and those who have found difficulty in driving manual vehicles with gear selection or clutch problems.

Easier to Drive

Automatic vehicles can also benefit some drivers with ability difficulties.

Automatic Lessons FAQ'S

Q. Can I pass my test in an Auto and drive a manual?

A. No, if you pass in an Auto you can ONLY drive Automatics. However, if you pass in an Auto you can take a Manual test at a later date at your leisure, possibly after you have gained more driving experience.

Q. Is the driving test easier in an automatic?

A. You will take the same test as a manual driver but the automatic car will be easier to drive.

Q. I have failed my test a few times in a manual car, should I try Automatic?

A. It depends why you are failing in a manual car, if you are having problems with car control such as: gear changing, choosing the correct gear, moving away smoothly, hill starts and clutch control you would benefit from driving an Automatic. However, changing to an Automatic will not cure problems due to poor judgment, anticipation, and planning and observational skills.
