With the stresses of everyday life and the roads getting busier, now is a fantastic time to be driving an automatic car.
You maybe 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 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, none of this 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!
Lee-on-the-Solent 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, especially in rush hour. In an automatic car it’s simple, we cannot make the traffic disappear, however you can control the car more easily, less pollution, and easier on your feet and legs, as no constant clutch control.
