A different car.
The same care in teaching.
An automatic car changes gear for you. You do not need to coordinate a clutch pedal and manual gear changes, leaving you more attention for the controls, your surroundings and the decisions you make.
Is automatic tuition right for you?
Automatic lessons can be a useful choice if you prefer simpler vehicle controls or want to learn in the type of car you expect to drive. Tell Nikki about your goals and any previous lessons so you can discuss a suitable starting point.
Confidence still takes practice
An automatic car does not remove the need for careful learning. You still practise observations, junctions, roundabouts, parking, speed choices and sharing the road safely. Nikki’s calm explanations help you understand those decisions.
Nervous learners are welcome
If managing several controls has felt overwhelming, explain that to Nikki. Personal, accurate guidance can help you work through the skills you find challenging. You can ask questions and discuss what useful progress looks like for you.
What licence does an automatic test give you?
Passing the practical test in an automatic car gives you entitlement to drive automatic cars. To drive manual cars, you need to upgrade your licence by passing a manual practical test. See the official GOV.UK guidance, and consider your future driving plans when choosing.
Prefer manual?
Nikki also teaches manual driving lessons in Edinburgh. Discuss both options if you are unsure; your choice should fit your needs.
