What Are The Benefits Of Automatic Driving Lessons?
There are many reasons why you might decide that learning to drive in an automatic car is right for you. First and foremost, you don’t have to worry about changing gear. Gears can be tricky for some learner drivers, and some people find it a lot easier than using a manual car. This can make automatic driving lessons a great option.
What’s The Difference Between Manual and Automatic?
The difference between manual and automatic cars lies in the gears. The terms manual and automatic refer to the type of transition between the gears of the vehicle. In a manual car, you ‘manually’ have to select and change the gear you are in using the gear stick. An automatic car will do this for you.
Automatic cars still have gears, but they are a little more basic. Some cars may have additional gears, but the four main ones are:
Park (P): This is the equivalent of neutral in a manual car, but the wheels are locked. Your car should be in ‘park’ (P) when you are switching the engine on or off.
Drive (D): The ‘drive’ (D) gear is used for going forward. As you press the accelerator,, the car will transition between the gears from first to second and so on. You will likely spend most of your time on the move in this gear.
Neutral (N): This is used when the car is stopped for a short time in traffic or traffic lights.
Reverse (R): This will select the cars reverse gears allowing you to move backwards.
In a manual car, you change gear by pressing the clutch and selecting the appropriate gear. As automatic cars do not have a clutch, this makes them difficult to stall. Another benefit of automatic cars is that you will not ‘grind’ the gears, or accidentally select the wrong gear by mistake.
