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.
All things are not created equal – this is quite a common saying that also applies to automatic cars. Not all automatic cars are the same in the manner in which you drive them. This said there is one common feature, or to be more accurate, the absence of a common feature – the clutch – automatics do not have a clutch pedal.
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.
