Automatic Driving Lessons

Learning to drive in a manual car is not for everyone – for many people, automatic driving lessons are a better option.

People learn to drive in an automatic for many different reasons, perhaps you’re eco-conscious and are planning to drive an electric car which are mainly automatic, or maybe you have a disability that stands in the way of changing gears. Whatever your reason may be, RED is here to provide you with expert automatic tuition and get you on the road safely, comfortably, and quickly.

FAQ

Why choose automatic?

As there is no clutch pedal, an automatic car may be easier to drive – especially on more congested city roads – and if you are having difficulties managing the gears in a manual car, you may find that taking automatic driving lessons is a faster route to your licence. Some people just prefer automatic transmissions for city driving as busy traffic means more frequent gear changes for manual drivers.

Before you decide whether to book driving lessons in an automatic or manual car, it’s important to keep in mind that an automatic licence does not permit you to drive a manual car once you have passed your test. That means that going for an automatic now may limit your choice when buying or renting a car or van in the future.
