Learning to Drive: Automatic or Manual Car?

Filed Under (Articles) by admin on 21-10-2008

When you wish to learn to drive, you have a choice of taking your driving lessons in a manual or automatic car.

If you do pass your driving test in an automatic vehicle though, you will need to bare in mind that you will not be able to drive a manual car with that licence (UK). If however, you pass your test in a manual car, you are entitled to drive an automatic car.

A manual car has gears and three foot operated pedals. You have to change up and down the gears yourself at the appropriate time.

An automatic car has an automatic gearbox that will change the gears for you and only two foot pedals (accelerator & brake). This makes learning in an automatic car a popular choice by those learners who find it difficult to co-ordinate the gears and clutch whilst driving a manual car. Older or disabled learner drivers often find an automatic vehicle easier also.

The vast majority of people tend to learn to drive in a manual car. As a result, there are far more driving instructors and driving schools who teach in manual cars than in automatic cars. It may be more difficult therefore to find a driving instructor or driving school that undertake automatic lessons. These lessons are also often more expensive.

In the early stages of driving, it may seem easier to not have to worry about gears and the clutch pedal but most people have few problems mastering them after a suitable number of hours training and practice. Given the extra variety of vehicles that you can drive after passing your driving test in a manual car, it does make sense to persevere with your manual driving lessons even if you end up driving an automatic car subsequently.

Perth Automatic Driving Schools

Filed Under (Automatic Driving Schools) by on 12-10-2008

Perth will have one or more 2Pass.eu Driving Instructors starting from 1st January 2009.

You would think that without the need to learn how to use a clutch, more people in the UK would drive automatic cars. In fact this is not the case. The majority of British drivers choose to drive a car that has a clutch and manual gearbox.

Semi automatics differ from automatics in that when you want to change gear you must select the gear you require by either going up a gear or by going down a gear. As with a fully automatic there is no clutch pedal.

Perth is an area where you can receive driving tuition.

Just like any town or city in the UK, this area has several qualified driving instructors.

2Pass.eu Driving School are one of the few driving schools who ensure that our driving tuition is of the highest standard. We achieve this through the use of fully qualified driving instructors who have passed all of the necessary examinations in order to be registered by the Driving Standards Agency.

You can recognise a fully qualified driving instructor by looking for his or her badge which will be near to the road tax disc. Have a look at the car's windsceen, if the badge is triangular and red, the instructor is still training and therefore not fully qualified. If the badge is octagonal and green, he or she is a fully qualified driving instructor. We only recommend driving tuition from green badge holders.

A fully qualified 2Pass.eu Driving School driving instructor can guide you to driving test success in the shortest possible time. As the saying goes 'time is money' so we try to keep the time it takes you to learn to drive, as short as possible. Driving tuition from a 2Pass.eu Driving Instructor is a wise investment!

Different manufacturers have ideas on what an automatic should be. It used to be that in an automatic car the gearstick layout was common with 'Drive' the selected mode to move the car forward. Other selections were 'Park', 'Neutral', 'Reverse' etc. With the advent of multi modes all this has changed and now all you need are three selections. 'E' for engage, 'N' for neutral and 'R' for reverse.

Another factor is that all automatics do not 'creep' or 'pull' when in gear. Multi modes are, in my opinion, safer to drive due to the fact that accidental movement either forward or backwards is minimal.

When one is going to learn to drive an automatic you will find learning that much easier than learning in a manual car. The reason for this is that all automatics, whilst not all being exactly the same in their characteristics, have no clutch pedal. You only require one foot to control the foot pedals being the accelerator and brake.

Depending on where you live, learning to drive is a process more important for some than for others. For example if you live in an area well served by public transport and close to amenities, driving is not so important as for someone who lives quite far from the centre of activities and with poor public transport.

Driving tuition is however available to all who can afford it. Who you choose though could make a substantial difference to how much you pay in order to learn to drive.

On the one hand you could choose to be taught by an expert. One who has lots of experience and has helped many people to pass their driving test. On the other hand you could be taught by a trainee instructor, one who is still learning how to teach and how to communicate the skills required in order to pass a driving test. Who would you rather choose?

Most people would prefer to receive driving tuition from the expert. And that is what you will receive from 2Pass.eu Driving School. We only have fully qualified experts! Commencing some time in 2009 we should have one or more 2Pass.eu Driving Instructors in Perth

Introducing 2Pass.eu Driving School. You are reading this on a blog created to promote awareness of the services we will be offering from early in 2009 when we will be launching the 2Pass.eu Driving School Franchise. If our plans are successful we should have driving instructors covering this area.

Dunkeld Automatic Driving Schools

Filed Under (Automatic Driving Schools) by on 12-10-2008

Dunkeld is an area that we intend to have represented by a 2Pass.eu Driving Instructor. 1st January 2009 is the first date that we intend having someone in this area.

Most drivers in the UK drive manual cars. It has been this way ever since the motor car was invented. In other parts of the world more people drive automatic cars. Although the process is slow, more UK drivers are opting for automatics.

If you are considering learning in an automatic you should be aware that the DSA have a separate category for semi automatics. This is because a true automatic does not require you to select a gear once you have moved off. Semi automatics require you to change gears although there is no clutch pedal.

Dunkeld is an area where you can receive driving tuition.

Just like any town or city in the UK, this area has several qualified driving instructors.

Gone are the days when all automatics had virtually identical characteristics. The dawning of the multi mode changed that. Manufacturers such as Toyota, are captaining the development of what they believe are safer automatics.

A feature of many automatics is the movement without power when the car is in gear. This movement is sometimes known as 'creep' and in some situations it can be dangerous. Toyota and other makes are developing cars that do not 'creep' such as the Toyota Yaris.

If you are thinking of learning to drive an automatic car it is important to realise that there are different types of automatics and they have different characteristics but one things is common. Automatics do not have clutches so you only need use one foot when driving.

St Andrews Automatic Driving Schools

Filed Under (Automatic Driving Schools) by on 11-10-2008

St Andrews is planned to be covered by 2Pass.eu Driving School. As we only go live on 1st January 2009 there will be no cover until then.

Cars have been around for a very long time and technology never stops developing easier ways in which the car performs many functions such as road holding, braking etc. You would think then that most people would choose the easiest form of driving, automatic cars, but in the UK this is just not so.

Automatic Driving Schools In Brechin

Filed Under (Automatic Driving Schools) by on 11-10-2008

Cars have been around for a very long time and technology never stops developing easier ways in which the car performs many functions such as road holding, braking etc. You would think then that most people would choose the easiest form of driving, automatic cars, but in the UK this is just not so. In America however most people do drive automatics.

A feature that attracts many people to learning in an automatic is the fact that they do not have a clutch pedal. This fact alone is common to all automatics and it means that you only need one foot for the pedals. This is convenient for people with certain disabilities. Automatics however do have different features and these will be covered elsewhere.

The 2Pass.eu Driving School has ambitions to provide a range of services. In our pilot area of Dundee we already provide training in manual and automatic cars plus motorcycle training. When we launch the 2Pass.eu Driving School Franchise early in 2009 we should be able to offer these services if you live within a 20 mile radius of Brechin

Automatics are gaining in popularity as each year goes by. Technology is also on the move and there are now different types of automatics. It used to be that when you drove an automatic all you had to do was select 'Drive' but now with automatics known as multi modes, you can also select 'E' which I take as being 'engage'.

Not all automatics creep forward when in gear. Multi modes for example require an element of power before they will move. The learning process for driving a car is still simplified no matter what type of automatic you drive.

Semi automatics differ from automatics in that when you want to change gear you must select the gear you require by either going up a gear or by going down a gear. As with a fully automatic there is no clutch pedal.
