Driving lessons in a manual or automatic?

In Britain and mainland Europe, manual cars are the most popular and in North America its the other way round and predominately auto. Automatics are way easier to drive as you only need one foot,the right.The downside is they use more fuel than a manual and tend to be more expensive to buy.The other big problem with automatics is that you are not allowed to drive a manual in this country if you pass your test in an auto.Driving a manual in my opinion is more fun and unless your driving is bordering on special needs,a good driving instructor will be able to get you through your test in a manual.Amba Driving School

Whats the best time to take your driving test

I get asked this question a lot by pupils when booking their driving test.There are no easy times to take your test but certain times of the day will influence the routes examiners can take.If your learning to driver in the Altrincham area then Sale is your nearest test center.The first test of the day at 8.20 will mean the traffic is heavy and so the test routes will not venture too far away and the number of routes available will be far fewer than later in the day.The downside to an early test time is that it is very busy but you will have a fairly good idea where the examiner will take you.You also have to get out of bed early.Of course when your ready to take your test you will be competent and experienced enough to be able to deal with all possible roads and situations including;Dual carriageways,country lanes,busy large and small roundabouts,town driving etc.A good driving instructor will ensure you have experience of all the road types you are likely to encounter when you have passed your test.
