With everyday life being as stressful as it is and the roads getting busier, now is a fantastic time to be driving an automatic car.
You maybe a complete beginner, or someone who has had a go at manual and found it wasn’t the right fit. Whatever your level, we can cater for you, and promise you 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, as there is no clutch, so when you come off the brake and press the accelerator, there’s no hesitation, you just go.
Piece of cake in an automatic car, as soon as you move your foot from the brake to the gas, the car will move, no more constant clutch movement, putting on the handbrake and finding the biting point, you just calmly move your feet from one pedal to the other. On top of that – no rolling backwards!
