In America most people drive automatic cars. They refer to manual cars as ‘stick shift’ the stick being the gear lever. In this country (United Kingdom) the position is very different with the vast majority preferring to drive a car that has a clutch.
Automatics are gaining in popularity as each year goes by. Technology is also on the move and there are now different types of automatics. It used to be that when you drove an automatic all you had to do was select ‘Drive’ but now with automatics known as multi modes, you can also select ‘E’ which I take as being ‘engage’.
Not all automatics creep forward when in gear. Multi modes for example require an element of power before they will move. The learning process for driving a car is still simplified no matter what type of automatic you drive.
If you are considering learning in an automatic you should be aware that the DSA have a separate category for semi automatics. This is because a true automatic does not require you to select a gear once you have moved off. Semi automatics require you to change gears although there is no clutch pedal.
Having made the decision that you want to learn to drive it is important to have some idea of what is required.
