Automatic lessons
Is an automatic right for you?
With no clutch and no gears to think about, automatic lessons let you put all of your attention on the road itself: observation, hazard perception, positioning and steering. Many learners find they feel confident behind the wheel much sooner.
Automatics suit Crawley’s roads well. With no gears to think about on the approach to a busy multi-lane roundabout, you can give all of your attention to lane choice, signals and spotting your gap. Stop-start traffic around the town centre and Three Bridges is far less tiring when you can’t stall.
One thing to know before you start: if you pass your test in an automatic, your full licence only covers automatic cars. If you think you might need to drive a manual later, let’s talk about it first. I teach both, so I can help you decide honestly.
