Are you thinking of learning to drive in an automatic car or a manual?
Pro Coach Driving School, advocates learning to drive in an automatic car for lots of reasons.
Safety
If you want to get on the road quickly, then automatic is the way to go-no messing around with the clutch and gears.
You will learn quicker, as your attention is more quickly out on the road, where it should be, rather than focused in the car, which is where it is for a good while, if you learn in a manual car.
If you think about it, as your hands are always on the wheel, rather than having to constantly change gear, it must be safer?
In addition, as the power of the engine is never disconnected from the road wheels, the traction is always present.
In a manual car, there is always an element of ” coasting”, when the clutch goes down. The clutch disconnects the engine from the road wheels, whilst you change gear, which can lead to a loss of traction.
Less Mental and Physical Stress
Secondly, you will find that driving an automatic car less stressful to drive in volume traffic.
Manual cars can be very hard work in stop-start traffic. Constantly on the clutch and gears.
If you intend to commute, no you want to arrive stressed?
Stress and driving is a bad thing, it causes humans like you and me, do things that we would not usually do- take risks.
Driving an automatic car, there’s no clutch or gears to deal with at all.
Learning to drive in an automatic car, as far as safety is concerned, is the way to go for learner drivers.
Less to do in the Car
Automatic cars have gears, that’s how the engine applies its power to the road
All you need to do to drive one, is put the selector in ” Drive”, the car senses when a gear change is necessary and does it for you.
We all work hard in our jobs right?
Do you really want to work harder to drive a car, than is necessary?
