Driving lessons in Hendon FAQ's

Learning in an automatic car has it benefits. The main one that learners like is the fact they do not need to master the clutch that comes in manual cars. As such, generally, there is less to learner so some learners may find it quicker to pass their driving test. And the quicker you pass your test, the less money you'll spend on driving lessons. Please note that automatic driving lessons normally cost more than manual driving lessons.

According to the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) learner drivers need on average 44 hours of professional driving lessons to pass their driving test. To speed up learning, learners can always practice with a family member providing they are the correct age, the car is safe and legal to use and you have the correct car insurance.

It's a tough one. Many learners like to take their driving lessons in a manual car as they get the benefit of being able to driving manual and automatic cars, where as having an automatic driving licence means that you will only be allowed to drive automatic cars.

There is change coming though. As we turn to a greener future, electric cars are now becoming popular as they are far more friendly to the environment with the added bonus of them being automatic. The UK Government has said that all combustion engine cars will not be allowed to be sold from 2030 so learning automatic is actually not a bad choice.

Automatic driving lessons generally cost more than manual lessons but learners tend to need less lessons so the cost balances out by the time you pass your driving test.

An intensive driving course can save you time and money as you might need fewer hours' training. There are some downsides though. With normal hourly driving lessons you get to experience many different driving and weather conditions which will allow you to learn how to drive and build confidence in all circumstances.

Normally, an intensive course is far more expensive than hourly lessons as you will be packing in all your lessons into 7-14 day window and taking your driving test at the end. It's a lot of pressure and not for the faint hearted but if you are a quick learner and keen to pass fast, intensive driving lessons could be the right path for you.
