Automatic vs Manual Driving Lessons
When booking your driving lessons, one of the first choices you’ll need to make is whether to learn in an automatic or manual car. Both options have their benefits — and the right choice depends on your confidence, driving goals, and personal preference.
Why Choose Automatic Driving Lessons?
Automatic cars are simpler to drive as they don’t have a clutch or manual gears. This means you can focus more on the road, steering, and traffic without worrying about gear changes. They’re ideal for:
Nervous or first-time drivers
Learners who want a quicker, less stressful learning experience
City driving with frequent stops and starts
If you’re feeling anxious about starting lessons, our nervous driving lessons in automatic cars can help you build confidence at your own pace.
Why Choose Manual Driving Lessons?
Manual cars give you more control over the vehicle and are often cheaper to buy and run. If you pass your test in a manual, you can legally drive both manual and automatic cars in the future. Choose manual lessons if:
You’d like the freedom to drive any type of car
You’re comfortable managing gears and a clutch
You want a wider choice of cars to drive after passing
Which One Should You Pick?
If you’re unsure, think about your driving needs and how you feel about handling a car. Nervous drivers often find automatic lessons a good starting point, while those confident with multitasking and car control might prefer manual.
At Acorn SOM, we offer both options with experienced, patient instructors who’ll help you decide what’s best for you.
