There are many advantages to learning to drive in an automatic car. However if you pass your test in an automatic car you will only be able to drive automatic cars and if you pass your test in a semi automatic car you will only be able to drive automatic and semi automatic cars, if you take your test in a manual car you will be able to drive manual, automatic and semi automatic cars.

Once you have decided whether to take manual or automatic driving lessons and whether you would prefer a male or female instructor then do you prefer the larger driving school or an independent instructor the next step is the learning vehicle.

The learning vehicle.

The car is not a critical decision point unless you have a particular dislike of certain brands or models. As a learner you will soon become accustomed to the particular car and get to know its quirks and foibles and you will be more than happy in learning to drive in that vehicle.

The instructor.

Choosing the instructor is the critical decision in how you lessons and test will progress, you will need to be comfortable with your instructor and happy to accept her or his training techniques and methodology. We all have some people we get on with and some people we do not, this is a normal human reaction and does not infer any criticism of an individual driving instructors abilities in driver training.

It is important to understand how important this is and you should always try a lesson or two before fully committing to a particular instructor.

If you have chosen a driving school with more than one instructor do not hesitate to ask for a different instructor if the one you have been allocated is not to your liking, again this does not infer any doubt on the instructors ability merely that you would prefer a different instructor.

Many driving schools and independent instructors will offer a discount for block bookings and this can offer a good saving on the overall cost of your full lesson package, however you should not make any block bookings until you have had one or more lessons and are happy and comfortable with your driving instructor and the driving instruction package taking you through to passing your driving test.
