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. You might have had driving lessons in a manual car but found the gears too complicated. A disability that prevents drivers from changing gears easily is another reason why they may choose to learn to drive in an automatic. If this is you, you’re not alone. Many people find learning to drive and passing the driving test in an automatic much easier.
A car equipped with an automatic transmission changes the gears automatically for you. You will need to change the gears yourself if you drive a manual transmission car.
There are three pedals in manual cars, the clutch, brake, and the accelerator. You also have a gear stick which when used with the clutch allows you to change the gears. You use your left foot to operate the clutch, while your right foot is used for the other two. When you need to change gear, you press down on the clutch. To select the correct gear for your speed, when the clutch is down simply move the gear stick for the right gear. Most manual cars have a clutch pedal, but some cars have a trigger or button on the gearstick.
Because an automatics car’s gears are changed automatically, it doesn’t have a clutch. An automatic car will change the gears automatically as it speeds and slows down. 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 are very difficult to stall because they don’t have a clutch. It is also impossible to put an automatic car in the wrong gear or grind the gears.
A Manual’s gear stick is different than an Automatic. You can choose between 1-5 forward gears and 1 reverse gear in a manual car. 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 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. The car will move even though it is not going very fast, until you use the accelerator. If you’re used to driving manual cars and want to switch to an automatic, this is something you need to remember.

Is A Manual Car Or Automatic Car The Most Popular?
Manual cars are the most popular in the UK, but the number of automatics being manufactured is increasing. Automatic cars tend to be more expensive to purchase, run and maintain. They tend to consume more fuel than manual cars. Additionally, they are more expensive to maintain and to insure because they are more complex to make.
What Are The Advantages Of Taking Driving Lessons In An Automatic Car?
The process of learning how to drive an automatic car isn’t always easier, it all depends upon what difficulties you are experiencing. Learning in an automatic car won’t help you if your problem is observation
Driving in an automatic is a good option if your problems with clutch control or gear changing. When you learn to drive in an urban environment with lots of traffic, there is less to worry about. You will need to constantly change your gear because of the stop-start nature involved in driving in densely populated areas. For both experienced drivers and those just starting to learn how to drive manual cars, this can be frustrating.
You can take your driving test in an automatic car, eliminating the possibility of the car stalling and any clutch control problems. 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.
Are There Any Downsides To Driving An Automatic Car?
As stated above, automatic cars tend be more expensive than manual cars to purchase, run and maintain. Automatic driving lessons can often be more expensive that manual driving lessons because of this.
A downside to learning to drive an automatic car is that your license does not qualify you to drive a manual car. 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. You will have to take your driving test again if you decide to drive a manual car.
Pass rates for automatic cars are usually lower than those in manual cars. Don’t let it discourage you! Every year, thousands of learners pass driving tests in automatic car.
