Benefits of Automatic Driving Lessons
Automatic cars are ideal for nervous learners who prefer to focus on road awareness rather than gears, and for anyone wanting extra confidence in Birmingham’s stop-start traffic and busy roundabouts. They also suit learners who plan to drive an automatic or electric vehicle long-term, as well as people who have tried manual lessons and found clutch control or gear changes distracting.
Effortless Driving
Without the need to manually shift gears, you can focus on mastering essential driving skills and building confidence on the road.
Faster Learning Curve
Simplified controls mean beginners can grasp the basics of driving more efficiently, leading to faster progress and achievement of driving goals.
Reduced Distraction
Automatic transmission removes the distraction of coordinating gear shifts, allowing learners to fully concentrate on their surroundings and road safety.
Increased Awareness
Learning to drive an automatic car equips drivers with the skills to navigate congested streets and intersections, enhancing their driving adaptability.
Manual vs Automatic
Choosing between manual lessons and automatic lessons comes down to how you want to drive and how quickly you want to progress.
Automatic driving lessons
- No clutch or gear changes – simpler and less stressful
- Easier to manage in Birmingham’s stop-start traffic
- Allows you to focus more on road awareness and decision-making
- Often suits nervous learners or those who struggled with manual lessons
Manual driving lessons
- Requires clutch control and gear changes
- Can take longer to master, especially in busy city driving
- Gives you a licence that allows you to drive both manual and automatic cars
Licence difference (important to know)
If you pass your test in an automatic car, your licence will only allow you to drive automatic vehicles. A manual test gives you the flexibility to drive both manual and automatic cars.
If you’re unsure which option is right for you, you can start with automatic lessons and focus on building confidence, or explore manual lessons if you want maximum long-term flexibility.

What Our Students Say About Us
Automatic Driving Lessons Birmingham for City Driving Confidence
Learning to drive in Birmingham often means dealing with busy roads, frequent stops, roundabouts and heavy traffic in areas such as Erdington, Acocks Green, Solihull, Yardley, Perry Barr and many more. For many learners, automatic driving lessons offer a simpler and more practical way to build confidence in these conditions.
Automatic cars remove the need to manage a clutch and gears, which can be a common frustration for beginners learning in stop-start traffic. Instead, lessons focus on road positioning, hazard awareness and decision-making — all essential skills for driving safely on Birmingham’s urban roads.
While manual cars can offer greater flexibility, they also require confident clutch control and smooth gear changes, which can slow progress for some learners. Automatic lessons reduce that complexity, making them a popular choice for new drivers, nervous learners and those who plan to drive an automatic or electric vehicle long term.
At Result Driving School, you’re free to choose the learning style that suits you best. Our automatic driving lessons are designed to help you make steady, confident progress — without unnecessary pressure — wherever you’re learning to drive in Birmingham.

Automatic Driving Lessons FAQs
Are automatic driving lessons worth it?
Automatic driving lessons can be worth it if you want a simpler learning experience and plan to drive an automatic car long-term. Many learners find automatic lessons less stressful because there’s no clutch control or gear changing, allowing them to focus more on road awareness and confidence. Whether they’re “worth it” depends on your personal preferences, learning style and driving goals.
How many lessons does it take to drive an automatic car?
The number of automatic driving lessons needed varies from person to person. Some learners progress more quickly in an automatic, while others may need a similar number of lessons to manual learners. Factors such as previous driving experience, confidence levels, lesson frequency and practice outside of lessons all play a role. Your instructor will guide you based on your individual progress.
Can I do driving lessons in an automatic?
Yes, you can take driving lessons in an automatic car. Automatic lessons are a popular option for learners in Birmingham who want a more straightforward way to learn to drive, particularly in busy traffic. If you pass your driving test in an automatic car, your licence will allow you to drive automatic vehicles only.
How hard is it to learn to drive an automatic car?
Many learners find automatic cars easier to learn because there’s no need to manage gears or a clutch. This can make early lessons feel less demanding, especially for nervous drivers or those learning in city traffic. However, learning to drive safely still takes time, practice and good instruction, regardless of whether the car is manual or automatic.
What percentage of automatic drivers pass first time?
There is no single, reliable pass-rate percentage for automatic learners that applies universally. Pass rates can vary by area, test centre and individual circumstances, and figures change over time. Your chances of passing depend far more on preparation, confidence and readiness for test rather than whether you learn in a manual or automatic car.
What are the disadvantages of an automatic?
The main disadvantage of learning in an automatic car is the licence restriction. If you pass your test in an automatic car, you’ll only be legally allowed to drive automatic vehicles. Automatic lessons can also be more expensive in some areas, and there may be fewer instructors available compared to manual. For some learners, manual lessons offer more long-term flexibility.
Are your automatic driving instructors qualified?
All driving instructors teaching paid lessons in the UK must be approved by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA). This means they have met the required standards for training, testing and professional conduct. You can find more information about instructor requirements and regulations on the official DVSA website.
