Description

This course contains step-by-step instructions for driving an automatic car. It has been designed to help you to get your driver’s licence. It has over 30 video lessons that contain in-car videos, drone footage, and animations. The course is not a replacement for practical driving lessons; it should be used alongside your practice to enhance your driving skills. Whether you are an entirely new beginner, simply want to improve your driving skills, or pass your manual driving test, this course is for you. If you would prefer to drive an automatic, please see our “Learning to Drive a Manual Car” courseMany driving instructors spend a lot of time explaining the theory; the concept behind a particular subject before it is put into practice. For example, if you are doing roundabouts for the first time, the instructor will pull up on the side of the road and talk about roundabouts to ensure that you have the basic knowledge. Imagine the time and money that you would save if you studied the roundabout section of this course before your driving lesson. The course also makes a good revision guide. You can watch it over and over again. NOTE: This course has been designed and filmed in the UK. However, the basic concept of learning to drive applies nationally. Nevertheless, you need to be aware that in the UK, we drive on the left-hand side of the road.
