Why Choose Automatic Driving Lessons?
Automatic cars make learning to drive simpler — no clutch, no stalling, and no gear changes to worry about.
This means you can focus on what really matters: mastering road awareness, positioning, and hazard perception.
If you’ve ever felt anxious about manual lessons, switching to automatic car driving lessons can make all the difference. Many learners in Bush Hill Park pass faster with automatic — saving both time and money.
How Many Automatic Driving Lessons Do I Need?
While it varies by learner, most people in Bush Hill Park take 25–45+ automatic driving lessons before they’re ready for the practical test.
You’ll learn how to handle junctions, roundabouts, and parking; gain confidence in city traffic and dual carriageways; and practice real-world driving on local routes often used in tests.
What You’ll Learn in Your Automatic Lessons
From smooth acceleration and mirror routines to handling roundabouts, parking confidently, and becoming familiar with common test routes, your instructor will ensure you master every essential skill to drive safely and confidently around Bush Hill Park.

Manual vs Automatic – Which Licence Should I Choose?
If you pass your test in an automatic car, your licence will only allow you to drive automatic vehicles.
If you learn and pass in a manual car, you can legally drive both manual and automatic vehicles.
That said, automatic cars are becoming increasingly common — especially with the rise of electric and hybrid vehicles, most of which are automatic by design.
If you value ease, comfort, and lower stress while learning, automatic driving lessons in Bush Hill Park are a practical and future-ready choice.
If you want maximum flexibility for all vehicle types, a manual licence might still be worth considering.

- Rated Driving focuses solely on driving education — not generic courses.

🤔 How many driving lessons will I need?
The DVSA says most people need about 40 hours of professional lessons, plus private practice. We'll help tailor your schedule to build confidence efficiently.
- The DVSA recommends about 45 hours of professional lessons and 22 hours of private practice for most learners.
- Some learners feel confident sooner, others need more time.
- Your instructor will monitor your progress and advise when you’re test-ready.
- Practice regularly for the best results.
- Everyone learns at their own pace.

The more often you drive, the more natural it becomes. Combining quality instructor lessons with regular practice builds confidence quickly.
Every learner progresses at their own pace, and that’s perfectly normal. Your instructor will adapt to your comfort level and guide you through each step with patience.
🧐 How to prepare for your first driving lesson
Getting ready for your first driving lesson is an exciting step - and a bit of preparation can help you feel more confident and relaxed on the day. Here’s a simple guide to help you make the most of it:
1. Check Your Provisional Licence
Before your lesson, make sure you have a valid provisional driving licence. Your instructor will need to see it to confirm you’re legally allowed to drive.
2. Get Familiar with the Basics
Take a few minutes to learn the basic layout of a car - the pedals, gear stick, steering wheel, and mirrors. Watching a short video or reading a beginner’s guide can help you feel more prepared.
3. Choose Comfortable Clothing
Wear clothes that allow you to move freely and flat-soled shoes that give you good control of the pedals. Avoid anything bulky or restrictive.
4. Bring the Essentials
Have your provisional licence with you, along with glasses or contact lenses if you need them to drive. A bottle of water is also a good idea to stay hydrated.
5. Get a Good Night’s Sleep
Feeling well-rested will help you stay focused and alert throughout your lesson.
6. Brush Up on the Highway Code
A quick review of key road signs, speed limits, and basic driving rules can give you a boost in confidence before you get behind the wheel. [download The Highway Code 2025 PDF]
7. Keep Your Expectations Realistic
Your first lesson is all about getting familiar with the car and starting to build your skills. Don’t worry about getting everything perfect - take it one step at a time.
With the right preparation and a calm mindset, you’ll be off to a great start.
🙏 What to expect on your first driving lesson
Your first driving lesson is a key milestone - it's where everything begins. The goal is to help you feel comfortable, introduce you to the car, and give you your first taste of driving. Here’s what typically happens during your first session:
1. Meet Your Instructor
You’ll meet your DVSA-registered driving instructor, who will check your provisional licence and have a quick chat about any experience or knowledge you already have.
2. Go Through the Cockpit Drill (DSSSM)
Before driving, you'll go through a quick safety routine to get set up properly:
- Doors - Make sure all doors are securely closed.
- Seat - Adjust your seat so you can reach the pedals comfortably.
- Steering - Adjust the steering wheel to suit your position.
- Seatbelt - Buckle up for safety.
- Mirrors - Position your mirrors for a clear view around the car.
3. Learn the Basic Car Controls
Your instructor will show you the key controls, including:
- Accelerator, brake, and clutch (if you're learning in a manual)
- Gear stick, handbrake, and indicators
- Other essentials like lights and wipers
4. Practice Moving Off and Stopping
You’ll start with the basics:
- How to start the engine safely
- Checking mirrors and blind spots
- Moving off smoothly and bringing the car to a controlled stop
5. Drive on Quiet Roads
If you're ready, your instructor may take you to a quiet area to practice simple driving skills like steering, gear changes, and stopping calmly.
6. Feedback and Next Steps
At the end of the lesson, your instructor will talk you through what went well and what to work on next time. This feedback helps you build confidence and track your progress.
