You would think that without the need to learn how to use a clutch, more people in the UK would drive automatic cars. In fact this is not the case. The majority of British drivers choose to drive a car that has a clutch and manual gearbox.
Nowadays, automatic cars are available with features that were not present a few years ago. It used to be that all automatics would pull forward when in gear, commonly referred to as ‘drive’. This is no longer the case.
Car makers like Toyota are developing safer cars that have many functions. Known as multi modes, these automatics afford you choices that conventional automatics do not such as the ability to select any gear if so desired.
There are three categories of driving tests for cars, manual, automatic and semi automatic. The reason for this is that semi automatics, although they do not have a clutch pedal, still have the need for you to select gears. Due to this the DSA treat semi automatics differently from automatics.
Having made the decision that you want to learn to drive it is important to have some idea of what is required.
