What Is The Difference Between Manual Cars And Automatic Cars?
Driving a manual car is not something that everyone can learn, especially if the city is busy and you need to change gears and rely on clutch control a lot. Perhaps you have previously taken driving lessons in a manual car and found the handling of the gears difficult. A disability that prevents drivers from changing gears easily is another reason why they may choose to learn to drive in an automatic. These are just a few of the many reasons why you may find learning how to drive and passing your driving test much easier in an automatic.
An automatic transmission car changes the gears automatically for you as your speed increases or decreases. If your car has a manual transmission, you will have to change the gears by yourself.
A manual car will have 3 pedals the brake, accelerator and clutch. 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. You will find a clutch pedal on most manual cars, but some cars, replace the pedal with a trigger/button on the gear stick.
An automatic car does not have a clutch, as the changing of the gears are done automatically by the car. An automatic car will change the gears automatically as it speeds and slows down. The co-ordination between the clutch, accelerator and gear lever is not required when driving an automatic car. 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. It is difficult for automatic cars to stall as they don’t have a clutch. Also, you won’t accidentally put the car into the wrong gear or grind the gears.
A Manual’s gear stick is different than an Automatic. A manual allows you to choose from 5 forward gears, possibly 6, and one reverse gear. An Automatic’s gear stick has 4 main operations. While there are many variations, these four operations, (P) park (D) drive (N) neutral (R) reverse. are the most usual ones. These operations are fairly self-explanatory with the possible exception of neutral which can be used when you are stopped at traffic lights or in heavy traffic.
Another difference is that manual cars will not be move on the flat without using the accelerator, whereas an automatic car if put into drive or reverse will move all by itself. The car will move even though it is not going very fast, until you use the accelerator. This is something to keep in mind if you want to switch from a manual to an automatic car.

Which Is Most Popular Automatic Or Manual Cars?
Manual cars are more popular than automatics in the UK, but the number of new automatics being built is increasing. Automatic cars are usually more costly to buy, run and to maintain. Automatic cars use more fuel than manual cars and they can be more costly to fix and insure.
What Are The Benefits Of Automatic Driving Lessons
Although learning to drive in an automatic car can be easier than driving a manual car, it all depends on your specific difficulties. Learning in an automatic car won’t help you if your problem is 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. Because of the nature of urban driving, you will have to change gears often. For both experienced drivers and those just starting to learn how to drive manual cars, this can be frustrating.
The automatic car allows you to take your driving exam without worrying about stalling or having to use clutch control. A learner will have a lot less difficulty with driving manoeuvres, such as turning in the road or starting from a hill due to no gears or clutch control required.
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.
Is There A Downside To Driving An Automatic Car?
Automatic cars are more costly to purchase, maintain and run than manual cars. Automatic driving lessons can also be more costly than manual 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. You can drive both manual and automatic cars if your test is passed in a manual car.
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.
In general, automatic cars have lower pass rates than manual cars. Don’t let it discourage you! Every year, thousands of learners pass driving tests in automatic car.

Automatic Driving Lessons Frequently Asked Questions
Is automatic car good for long drive?
Ease of Use An automatic transmission car actually makes a lot of sense for all those who have long commutes and often have to drive through a lot of congestion. Not having to use the clutch and the gear lever frequently reduces the driver fatigue to a lot of extent.
How long does a clutch last on an automatic?
The average lifespan of a clutch is anywhere between 20,000 to 150,000 miles. Luckily, your clutch will likely give you ample notice that something is going wrong. Don't get left at the side of the road with a vehicle that won't shift into gear.
Is 20 driving lessons enough?
The average amount of driving lessons should be 40-45 hours before taking your driving test. Some people decide that 20-30 hours or maybe even less is enough – but remember that the more lessons you take, the better you will become at driving. You'll pass your test faster if you take multiple driving lessons each week.
How many months does it take to pass your driving test?
It usually takes around 30 to 40 hours to reach test standard. 2 x 1.5 hour lessons per week should allow you to reach test standard within around 2 to 3 months depending on your ability. Opting for one lesson per week can take up to six months to reach test standard.
