This is your starting point for learning to drive in an automatic in Burgess Hill and across West Sussex. It explains the basics and links to our guides and to official GOV.UK information.
Quick answer: automatic lessons have no clutch or gear changes, so there is less to coordinate. The driving test is the same as for a manual car, and a pass gives you a licence for automatic cars only.
Why learners choose automatic
- Less to coordinate, so more attention on the road
- A calmer start for nervous learners
