What Is The Difference Between Manual Cars And Automatic Cars?
It can be difficult to learn how to drive a manual vehicle, especially if you live in a busy area where daily driving involves lots of changing gears and clutch control. You might have had driving lessons in a manual car but found the gears too complicated. Drivers may choose to drive an automatic because they can’t change gears easily due to a disability. If this is you, you’re not alone. Many people find learning to drive and passing the driving test in an automatic much easier.
If you are driving an automatic transmission car, it will automatically change the gears for you. You must change the gears yourself if your car is manual transmission.
Manual cars usually have three pedals, the clutch, brake, and accelerator. They also come with a gear stick, used in conjunction with the clutch to change gears. The clutch is operated with the left foot and the other two pedals with your right foot. When you need to change gear, you press down on the clutch. The clutch must be down in order to move the gearstick and select the right gear for you. 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. In an automatic car it is not necessary to be proficient in coordinating the accelerator, clutch, and gear lever. Because of this an automatic car is much more easy to learn than a manual car. 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. It is also impossible to put an automatic car in the wrong gear or grind the gears.
Manuals have a different type of gear stick to an Automatic. 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. These operations are easy to understand, except for neutral, which is used when you’re 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. Although it won’t move very fast until your press the accelerator, it will still be moving. This is important to remember if you’re used to driving a manual car and plan to switch to an automatic

You might have difficulty managing the gears of a manual car. If this is the case, it might be easier to learn to drive in an automatic car.
Are There Downsides to Driving an Automatic Car?
As we have already mentioned, automatic cars are generally more expensive to buy, run and maintain. Automatic driving lessons can also be more costly than manual lessons because of this.
One downside to learning how to drive in an automatic car is that it does not allow you to drive a manual car. However, if you pass your test in a manual car, you will be able to drive both.
It is possible that your future choices in buying or renting a vehicle or van may be limited by taking your driving test in an automatic car. If you decide that you want to drive a manual vehicle, you will need to take the test again
