With everyday life being as stressful as it is and the roads becoming busier, now is a great 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 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, off you go 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. And another plus – No rolling backwards!
Millbrook has its share of busy roads, junctions, roundabouts, traffic lights and built-up areas, where you will be in traffic a lot of the time during your driving lessons, especially in rush hour. In an automatic car its simple – we cannot make the traffic disappear, but you can control the car more easily, reducing pollution, and easy on the feet and legs, as no constant clutch control.

A lot of our learners find that combining the online theory prep with their practical lessons helps the two sides of learning to drive come together, as the theory and the practical reinforce each other.
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 pick you up from home and drop you at college or university, once you have some experience on busier roads.
