Driving an automatic car is not necessarily any easier, it depends on the issues you are having. It won’t make much of a difference to you if you have a common issue like observation. It is possible to learn to drive an automatic car if gear changes or clutch control are difficult for you. There is much less to consider when learning to drive in a city with lots of congestion. Because of the nature of urban driving, you will have to change gears often. This can be difficult for both experienced drivers and learner drivers. Taking your driving test in an automatic car is easier than driving in a manual car as you do not have the risk of stalling the car and any struggles you have with clutch control. In an automatic car you are able to handle difficult manoeuvres such as a turn in the road or a hill-start easier, which can be daunting for students who drive a manual car, as there are no gears or clutch control to worry about. If you have trouble managing the gears in a manual vehicle, you might find that learning to drive an automatic car is easier. This could mean you take fewer lessons to pass your test and receive your driving license.

Is There A Downside To Driving An Automatic Car?

As we have already mentioned, automatic cars are generally more expensive to buy, run and maintain. This is why automatic driving lessons are more expensive than manual driving lessons. A downside to learning to drive an automatic car is that your license does not qualify you to drive a manual car. If you pass your driving test in a manual car, your license will permit you to drive both. You may find that passing your test in an automatic car could limit your options for buying or renting a car in the future. You will have to take your driving test again if you decide to drive a manual car. In general, automatic cars have lower pass rates than manual cars. Don’t let it discourage you! Every year, thousands of learners pass driving tests in automatic car.

Are you looking for a new challenge or the opportunity to be your own boss. If so then becoming a New Town Driving Instructor could be what you’re looking for.

The requirements include that you must be 21 or older, have had a driver’s license for at least three years, not had more than five penalty points in the last four years, and want to find a job that gives you the freedom to make your own decisions or earn more money and do something that you always wanted to.

To fully complete your training, it will take you a minimum of 6 months, that’s if you get everything passed the first time, but that is highly unlikely.
