Automatic Driving Lessons

Driving Schools Booking Services is a nationwide driving school that offers automatic driving lessons throughout the UK. However, we recommend that anyone thinking about taking driving lessons in an automatic car read on. Alternatively call us on 0800 080 5705 and one of our fully approved driving instructors will help you make the right decision.

Pupils taking automatic driving courses generally pass their test with around five hours less tuition than those taking a manual course. However, automatic lessons cost more money, so don't offer any realistic savings. Automatic cars are also more expensive to buy and maintain; meaning that choosing to drive an automatic car can be hundreds or even thousands of pounds more expensive than a manual.

If you pass the practical test in an automatic car, you will receive a restricted licence. This only allows you to drive automatic cars. If you ever need to drive a manual car, you will need to take manual lessons, the manual theory test and the manual practical test.

For the reasons above, DSBS recommend that anyone thinking about taking automatic lessons try manual lessons first and if they find it too difficult switch to automatic.

If you need to pass your test quickly we offer both intensive and semi-intensive courses.
