With the stresses of everyday life and the roads only getting busier, now is a great time to be driving an automatic car.
You may be a complete beginner, or someone who has tried manual lessons and decided it wasn’t for you. Whatever stage you’re at, 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, 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 your feet from one pedal to the other. And another plus – No rolling backwards!
