With everyday life being as stressful as it is 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 had a go at manual and found it wasn’t the right fit. No matter 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 your feet from one pedal to the other. And another plus – No rolling backwards!
{location} has its share of busy roads, junctions, roundabouts, traffic lights and built-up areas, where you will be in traffic quite often during your driving lessons, especially in 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.

Plenty of the people we teach find that doing the theory training in parallel with their driving lessons helps the two sides of learning to drive come together, since the rules you’re learning on paper are the same ones you’re applying behind the wheel.
If you’re studying at college or university, we can collect you during study breaks, taking you back to your studies or home once your lesson’s done, plus we can collect you from home and drive you to college or university, once you have a bit of experience on busier roads.
