With everyday life being as stressful as it is 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 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, since there is no clutch, so when you come off the brake and press the accelerator, there’s no hesitation, you just go.
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 your feet from one pedal to the other. And another plus – No rolling backwards!
Swanwick 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, particularly during rush hour. In an automatic car its simple, we cannot make the traffic disappear, however you can control the car easier, less pollution, and easier on your feet and legs, as no constant clutch control.
