Given the stresses of everyday life and the roads getting busier, now is a really good 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. 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, you’re off with no delay.
Piece of cake 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. On top of that – no rolling backwards!
Hedge End has its share of busy roads, junctions, roundabouts, traffic lights and built-up areas, where you ‘ll be in traffic a lot of the time during your driving lessons, particularly during rush hour. In an automatic car it’s simple – we cannot make the traffic disappear, but you can control the car easier, less pollution, and easy on the feet and legs, as no constant clutch control.
