What does it mean when we say automatic transmission?
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION =Vehicles with no clutch or gears to change by yourself during driving, as the car will automatically change it for you whilst detecting your acceleration.
Which should I choose? Manual or Automatic?
This is solely down to personal choice and ability. Below, is a comparison table to help you decide the best option for you:
AUTOMATIC |
Passing your automatic driving test would mean you are eligible to drive ONLY automatic cars. |
The absence of a gear stick and a clutch means you can fully focus on learning to drive, navigate and maneuver, without difficulty. |
May also be easier for those who struggle with manual transmission, people learning at an older age and people with disabilities |
Easier learning, as you don’t need to worry about changing gears. The learning process is generally quicker so you could potentially be ‘driving test-ready’ sooner than learning on manual. |
Automatic cars can be better suited to inner-city or town driving with the advantage of feeling less tired afterwards. |
