Manual Lessons
Learning to drive a manual transmission vehicle offers drivers a more engaged and interactive experience behind the wheel.
At Sharetts School of Motoring, we provide the option of both automatic and manual driving lessons. Opting for manual lessons presents numerous advantages, including enhanced control, the opportunity to operate a diverse array of vehicle makes and models exclusively available with manual transmission, and in certain instances, improved fuel economy.
Automatic Lessons
Learning to drive in a manual car is not for everyone, for many people automatic driving lessons are a better option.
Learning to drive an automatic vehicle can be a pivotal decision due to a variety of factors. For some, this eco friendly option maybe the driving force behind opting for automatic transmission. With the increasing popularity of electric cars which predominantly feature automatic gears, the seamless integration of automatic systems aligns harmoniously with environmental sustainability efforts, attracting those with a keen eye towards reducing their carbon footprint. Additionally, individuals grappling with disabilities that struggle with manual gear shifting find accessibility in automatic vehicles.
In the United Kingdom, holding an automatic driving license restricts one's ability to operate manual transmission vehicles legally. This means that individuals with solely an automatic license are not permitted to drive cars with manual gearboxes. The distinction lies in the type of test undertaken; those passing a test in an automatic vehicle do not demonstrate proficiency in manually shifting gears. This limitation is crucial, as manual transmissions require additional skills and control over the vehicle's operation. As such, if one wishes to drive both manual and automatic cars legally in the UK, they must pass a manual driving test or undergo additional training to upgrade their license.
