How To Drive An Automatic Car | Learn to drive: Car control skills

Automatic cars are becoming increasingly popular, as they are easier and more relaxing to drive than a car with a manual gearbox. New technologies such as hybrid or fully electric cars are better suited to automatic gearboxes, so as these types of car slowly take over manual gearboxes will eventually disappear. If you haven’t driven an automatic car before, the lack of a clutch pedal and different gearbox controls may cause confusion, so in this video, we will show how to drive an automatic car.

Automatic Transmission is a blessing on city traffic.

I have started lessons in an automatic car. I love it! I've done manual lessons in the past but it is not for me. All I wanted is the freedom to be able to travel from point A to point B in a car on my own. Keep up the good work with the videos. They are really very helpful to learner drivers like me.

Only in Suffolk would that be considered a hill. Everywhere else in Britain it would be called a flat road.

My brother got a manual license. He suggested that I'd get a automatic license as I'm not a person really fond of cars. He said an automatic is enough for someone just wanting to get somewhere quick and easy. And I thought to myself "I can always upgrade to a manual license whenever I want to, and the plus side is that I would already have learned everything you need to learn when driving in traffic, all I would need to learn is adding a clutch and gear shift to my driving"

I find manual cars stressful to drive and would prefer to get an automatic someday.

This really is an excellent video. As a manual driver for the past 12 years, I have decided to purchase my first automatic, and this video was extremely clear in its instructions.

been driving a automatic car for 2 years goin 3 and never driven a manual car before i couldn't imagine driving manual car it'll be too stressful for me so auto is much better for me 👍

I am inconsistent with manual and have selective awareness so auto is best for me I can focus on the road more than the gears and clutch.

I’ve done about 13 driving lessons in Manual and after watching this video, Automatic looks way more fun to drive than manual since you aren’t fidgeting with gears lol but driving in a smooth and relaxing manner in the road, which seams my type of style. I’m probably going to opt for Automatic tbh . Thanks for the video btw too.

Please also remember to come to a complete stop before shifting from Drive to Reverse or vice-versa. If you don't you can cause expensive damage to the gearbox. It is also good practice to apply the handbrake before shifting into park on a steep hill so that the weight of the car is being held by the handbrake instead of the parking pawl. If not it can be difficult to shift out of park and over time be damaging to the gearbox.

I did 40+ mannual lessons and although I improved a lot, I was still struggling with concentrating on hazards, watching for road signs and following a satnav. I decided to try automatic and my goodness!!! I finally feel confident and safe, my test is soon and I can't believe how calm I am now. If you struggle with driving anxiety or find multi-tasking difficult in general, give automatic a go!

[phantomtoast]

I’ve never driven an automatic car but quite interesting to see how it differed from driving a manual!

Less stressful to drive automatic. First lesson was on country side and then we went on dual carriageway and I was allowed to drive all way home. On a manual lesson I had the worst experience, because I had an impatient bastard driving instructor who expected me to know everything. There was no learning, just shouting and telling me my turns were ugly and my steering poor etc I stopped taking manual lessons after my 10th lesson when he told me I need 200 hours to even think of passing my test. So for over a decade I didn't drive cuz he crushed my confidence. But as soon as I sat in an automatic car I felt like home. So if you don't like manuals and you find it stressful DON'T DO IT. You're just wasting your money. I will always drive automatic cars cuz that's my preference 😂😂🚗

Picking up an automatic next week and got a 140 mile drive back. Never drove an automatic so this video is a blessing! I'm confident now.

[lightsinthesky]

Did 5 lessons in a manual. Found focusing on gears and everybody else on the busy London streets, constantly stopping and starting so anxiety provoking. Can't wait to restart in an automatic. This looks so much easier and more relaxing

[top__percent]

UK driving is the best, I never found any other country driving as good as British drivers. Excellent rules, etiquettes and discipline.

[nessaa]

I passed in an automatic 3 years ago as manual was not for me .. good decision but autos can be quite costly

[mdwadud]

This video just made driving look so easy I need to change transmission as soon possible I think I will do well in an automatic car
