Frequently Asked Questions

Is it best to learn in an Automatic or Manual Vehicle?

Learning to drive in an automatic vehicle is generally easier and less stressful for beginners, as it allows you to focus on steering and road awareness without the added complexity of gear changes. However, manual vehicles require mastering additional skills like gear shifting and clutch control, which can make you a more versatile driver.

If the family car or the vehicle you plan to use is an automatic, that's a great place to start. If you're currently licensed for automatic but want to switch to manual, professional lessons can make the transition smoother and quicker.
