Driving in an automatic is a good option if your problems with clutch control or gear changing. Driving in urban areas with lots congestion it is easier.

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.

Are There Any Downsides To Driving An Automatic Car?

As stated above, automatic cars tend be more expensive than manual cars to purchase, 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. Your licence will allow both if you pass your manual driving test. You may find that passing your test in an automatic car could limit your options for buying or renting a car in the future.
