Should I take manual or automatic driving lessons?

Whether you should take manual or automatic driving lessons depends on your personal preference and circumstances.

Here are a few things to consider when deciding between manual and automatic:

  1. Ease of use: Automatic cars are generally easier to drive than manual cars, as they do not require the driver to shift gears. This can make them a good choice for beginners or those who are nervous about driving.

  2. Cost: Automatic cars tend to be more expensive to purchase and insure than manual cars. However, the cost of driving lessons may not vary significantly between the two.

  3. Availability: In some countries, automatic cars are less common than manual cars, so it may be more difficult to find an automatic car to practice in or rent for a driving test.

  4. Flexibility: If you learn to drive in a manual car, you will be able to drive both manual and automatic cars. If you learn to drive in an automatic car, you will only be able to drive automatic cars.

Ultimately, the decision between manual and automatic driving lessons comes down to personal preference and what you feel most comfortable with.

If you are unsure, you may want to try a few lessons in both types of cars to see which one you prefer.
