With everyday life being as stressful as it is and the roads becoming busier, now is a great 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.
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. And another plus – no rolling backwards!
Chandlers Ford has its share of busy roads, junctions, roundabouts, traffic lights and built-up areas, where you will be in traffic a lot of the time during your driving lessons, particularly during rush hour. In an automatic car its simple, we cannot make the traffic disappear, but you can control the car more easily, less pollution, and easier on your feet and legs, as no constant clutch control.
