Learn without clutch control or gear changes
Automatic cars change gear for you, allowing you to concentrate on steering, observation, road position and planning. Lessons still cover the full range of skills needed to drive safely and prepare for the practical test.
Benefits of automatic tuition
- No clutch pedal or manual gear changes
- Less risk of stalling
- More attention available for traffic and road conditions
- A comfortable option for some nervous or returning learners
Important licence restriction
If you pass your test in an automatic car, your licence only permits you to drive automatic vehicles. To drive a manual car later, you must pass a manual practical driving test.
Who automatic lessons suit
Automatic tuition can suit complete beginners, learners who find clutch control difficult, people returning after a break and anyone planning to drive an automatic car.
