Interested in automatic intensive driving lessons in Manchester?

Why should I go for automatic driving lessons in Manchester?

Most people find driving an automatic car easier than driving a manual one. In a busy city like Manchester, you'll need to change gears a lot whilst driving, but driving an automatic car takes that out of your hands.

However, it's worth noting that if you do your lessons and driving test in an automatic car, you won't be able to drive a manual car unless you do another driving test to upgrade your licence.
