What Is The Difference Between Automatic Cars And Manual Cars?
If you live in a busy city where shifting gears and clutch control is an essential part of daily driving, learning to drive a manual car may not be for you. Perhaps you’ve had driving lessons in a manual vehicle before but found it difficult to handle the gears. A driver may also choose an automatic car because they are unable to change gears as easily due to a disability. If this describes you, you are not alone. Many people find learning to drive and passing their test in an automatic much easier and more enjoyable.
Automatic transmission cars automatically change gears for you. You must change the gears yourself if your car is manual transmission.
There are three pedals in manual cars, the clutch, brake, and the accelerator. You also have a gear stick which is used to change gears. You operate the clutch with your left foot, and the other two with your right foot. To change gears, you press the clutch down. When the clutch is down, you can move the stick to select the proper gear for your speed. A clutch pedal is standard on most manual cars, but some cars use a trigger or a button to replace it.
An automatic car doesn’t need a clutch as the gears are automatically changed. As the vehicle speeds up, the gears will automatically change higher and as it slows down the gears will change to a lower gear. In an automatic car you don’t need to know how to coordinate the clutch, gear lever and accelerator. This makes it easier to learn how to drive an automatic car rather than a manual. A footrest is usually used in place of the clutch. Automatic cars do not have a clutch so they are very difficult to stall. Also, you won’t accidentally put the car into the wrong gear or grind the gears.
Manuals have a different gear stick than Automatics. You can choose between 1-5 forward gears and 1 reverse gear in a manual car. The main operations of the automatic gear stick include four major operations. Although there may be variations, they are (P) park, (D) drive, (N) neutral, and (R) reverse. With the possible exception of neutral (which is used in heavy traffic or at traffic lights), most operations are quite obvious.
Another difference is that a manual car will not move on the flat unless you use the accelerator. An automatic, however, can be set into reverse or drive and the car will move by itself. It will move, but it won’t go very fast unless you push the accelerator. This is important to remember if you’re used to driving a manual car and plan to switch to an automatic

Is A Manual Car Or Automatic Car The Most Popular?
Manual cars are more popular than automatics in the UK, but the number of new automatics being built is increasing. Automatics are generally more expensive to purchase as well as to run and maintain. They consume more fuel than a manual car, and are also more costly to repair or insure.
What Are The Benefits Of Learning To Drive An Automatic?
Although learning to drive in an automatic car can be easier than driving a manual car, it all depends on your specific difficulties. You won’t notice a difference if you struggling with a common problem such as observation.
It is possible to learn to drive an automatic car if gear changes or clutch control are difficult for you. It is much easier to learn how to drive in urban areas that are jam-packed with traffic. Driving in traffic-heavy areas will require you to change gears frequently because of the constant stop-start nature. This can be difficult for both experienced drivers and learner drivers.
An automatic car makes it easier when doing your driving test as you do not have the risk of stalling the car and any struggles you have with clutch control. Because there are no gears so you do not need a clutch in an automatic car, it is much easier to perform manoeuvres like a turn in traffic or a hill start.
If you have trouble managing the gears in a manual vehicle, you might find that learning to drive an automatic car is easier. This could mean you take fewer lessons to pass your test and receive your driving license.
Are There Downsides to Driving an Automatic Car?
Automatic cars are more costly to purchase, maintain and run than manual cars. Automatic driving lessons can often be more expensive that manual driving lessons because of this.
You should also remember that learning to drive and passing your test in an automatic does not allow you to drive a manual vehicle. Your licence will allow both if you pass your manual driving test.
This means that if you are taking your driving test in an automatic car, it may limit your options when renting or buying a car in the future. Also, if later you decide you would prefer to drive manual cars, then you’ll need to take another driving test.
The pass rates for automatic cars are typically lower than those for manual cars. However, don’t let this deter you as every year thousands of learners pass their driving tests in automatic cars.
