When to go for automatic driving lessons
So you are not getting on with your driving lessons and are considering changing to an automatic driving instructor.
But wait - sometimes it may be that you just don’t get on with that particular driving instructor or you just might not get on with their car. It is always worth getting a second opinion with another driving instructor before deciding to change to an automatic car.
Why - because if you pass your practical driving test in an automatic you will only be entitled to drive automatic cars and you will have a restriction on your driving licence.
However, if you feel that you are just not getting it in a manual car then switching to automatic could be the answer.
Without a clutch and gears to worry about, it certainly makes driving a lot more pleasurable. Don’t think that it is realy easy though; you still have to be safe and aware of the road, you still have to complete all your manoevres in order to pass the driving test. It’s not as easy as some people make out - but it is certainly easier than a manual car and you should pass your test sooner.
The best thing to do is give an automatic driving lesson a go and see for yourself, then you can make a better decision as to which way is best for you.

Quite true. Manual lesson is always better than automatic lesson.
