With the stresses of everyday life and the roads getting busier, now is a really good time to be driving an automatic car.
You may be 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 your feet from one pedal to the other. On top of that – no rolling backwards!
{location} has its share of busy roads, junctions, roundabouts, traffic lights and built-up areas, where you ‘ll be in traffic quite often during your driving lessons, particularly during rush hour. In an automatic car it’s simple, we cannot make the traffic disappear, however you can control the car easier, less pollution, and easy on the feet and legs, as no constant clutch control.
Here at Lendrums Driving School we understand how tight money can be for students, so we offer reduced rates on lessons and block bookings, to help you budget more easily, and we are one of the few driving schools covering Cosham who offer driving lesson discounts.
