How to Drive an Automatic Car - A Complete Guide

Learn how to drive a car with automatic transmission with a professional driving instructor.

Driving an automatic car is much easier than learning to drive a manual car, since you won't need to shift gears. This also means that there isn't a whole lot for your left foot to do, since there is no clutch pedal in an automatic vehicle. But there's still a lot you need to know.

This video explains different settings, how to drive uphill and downhill with an automatic transmission, starting and stopping, pressure on the gas, and more. You will also learn what NOT to do when driving an automatic car.

All in all, this video contains everything you need to know when it comes to driving an automatic car.

I've been driving for 40 yrs always a manual car. Hubby bought an automatic and in really struggling you are helping with my anxiety thank you. I hope I can master it. I'm scared I won't

Great work 👌
We are UK based and get our first Hybrid car this week.
I'm ok but my wife is quite worried about picking it up the automatic transmission after 30 driving stick.
When to use Park Vs Neutral. The electronic parking brake is now
Tucked right away, no longer in the centre, I think auto hold should be set as default but I don't think it is?

[Inkgraphite]

I learned in a manual but Im intrested on learning because many new cars come only with automatic!

[Beatsystems]

was really useful, thanks! I definitely need to get an automatic car😄

[rogernazram]

When you are waiting somebody at the parking lot and your engine is running while the aircon is ON, are you going to use Park mode or just put it on Neutral?

[certibantz]

Driving from London to Manchester soon...usually drive manual but considering getting a auto rental for the day 🤔

[micosstar]

[cintasfreshpoint]

How come.u didnt start with starting the car 😒

[watermelonindianboi]

I have driving class in 30min and I’m pretty nervous this helped

[kevinjackson]

Far from "A complete guide". Whilst sand and snow driving was repeatedly referenced, there was absolutely no mention of how or when to use the electronic parking brake.

[peraHere]

So is it OK to use both foots? One on break on on brake?

[kagisot]

Are you not suppose to be teaching how to drive an automatic car? Your tittle is misleading, Bad video, Just a lot of yapping
