With the stresses of everyday life and the roads getting busier, now is a great time to be driving an automatic car.
You maybe a complete beginner, or someone who has taken manual driving lessons and found it was not for you. Whatever your level, we can cater for you, and promise you of a fantastic learning experience.
How many of your friends have told you about stalling, and how they hated it? In an automatic car you cannot stall, since there is no clutch, so when you come off the brake and press the accelerator, you’re off with no delay.
Simple enough in an automatic car, as soon as you move your foot from the brake to the gas, the car will move, forget about constant clutch movement, putting on the handbrake and finding the biting point, you just calmly move feet from one pedal to the other. Another benefit – No rolling backwards!
Harefield has its share of busy roads, junctions, roundabouts, traffic lights and built-up areas, where you ‘ll be in traffic a lot of the time during your driving lessons, especially in rush hour. In an automatic car its simple, we cannot make the traffic disappear, but you can control the car easier, less pollution, and easier on your feet and legs, as no constant clutch control.
