Learning to drive in a manual car is not for everyone – for many people, automatic driving lessons may be a better option.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 getting on the road.

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 (unless driving a manual as a learner). That means that going for an automatic now may limit your choice when buying or renting a car or van in the future.
