Automatic

Why Learn to Drive an Automatic?



Automatic cars don´t have a clutch pedal, so all you have to do with the gear selector is select D (Drive) before moving away and then the gears are selected for you automatically as you drive along (up and down). You cannot stall an automatic vehicle and they don´t roll back on hills either!

Automatic cars now are more popular than ever before and some car manufacturers are switching to automatic transmission only. Electric or Hybrid cars are also automatic only...you can´t buy any electric vehicle with manual transmission.


With the problem of choosing and selecting gears now out of the way, you will be able to channel your concentration on planning ahead, steering and anticipating what other road users might do, generally making driving much easier as well e.g. more confidence to go when there´s a safe gap at busy roundabouts! Automatics are generally safer regarding steering because both hands remain on the steering wheel for longer. Modern automatic cars are also just as reliable as any manual car and they don´t cost anymore to buy or to run either.



Learn in Less Time



Automatic cars take less time to learn to drive than manual cars, this can be of benefit to those who wish to learn quickly or those who have found changing gears or clutch control difficult when learning to drive in a manual car.



Automatic cars can also benefit some drivers with ability difficulties.
