This is our most popular choice for beginner learner drivers, allowing them to familiarise themselves with manual car controls.

Signature driving school has a fleet of dual-controlled manual transmission petrol and diesel cars at your disposal for lessons in your area.

We believe in teaching all students how to drive manual cars and successfully use the clutch pedal and gearstick to change gears so they can drive both manual and automatic cars when they pass their test and receive their full licence.

Automatic driving lessons Whitley Bay

Are you worried or stressed about learning to drive in a manual transmission vehicle with a gearbox and clutch?

Signature School of Motoring have local instructors in your area who provide automatic driving lessons, so you don’t have to worry about shifting gears manually or using the clutch.

So if you are unsure about learning to drive in a car with a manual transmission with gears and a clutch or find it difficult to operate a manual gear stick, why not look into professional driver training in an automatic car?

Automatic cars can help beginners who are learning to drive focus on safe driving and become more aware of their surroundings.

One of the key advantages of driving an automatic car is its ease of use. These cars do not contain gear sticks or clutch pedals, making them much simpler to operate, allowing drivers to concentrate more on developing their driving abilities rather than worrying about gear changes.

This simplicity minimizes the risk of stalling or making mistakes that can cause critical mistakes while driving.

So, if you want to learn how to drive in an automatic vehicle, contact Signature School of Motoring!

We offer automatic driving lessons for beginners in Whitley Bay, North Tyneside.

Both test centres vary the routes to test your driving abilities. The instructors will test your driving skills in various ways, including assessing your driving along busy and narrow streets, negotiating roundabouts and junctions, parking, reversing and emergency stops.

Following confirmation of the booking, your trainer will provide you with additional knowledge and skills to help you pass your test while covering possible routes that may occur during the test.

Tips for passing your driving test

You need to show the driving examiner that you can control the car, be aware of other road users and make decisions. By following these guidelines, you will be able to demonstrate the skills required to pass your driving test.

Ensure you know the vehicle controls inside and out so you can operate them without taking your eyes off the road.

Use your mirrors effectively to check what is behind and beside you, especially when changing direction or lane.

Watch out for other road users, such as pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists and even horse riders, as they may not be so easy to see.

Be aware of traffic signs and know what they mean.

Approach junctions with care, always looking both ways and giving way to traffic that has arrived before you.

Observe the speed limit and never exceed the maximum speed limit for the type of road you are on.

When making a turn, use the appropriate signal in plenty of time to let other road users know what you intend to do.

Your driving theory test

You can take learner driving lessons before you sit the theory test; however, you cannot book a practical driving test until you have successfully passed the theory part.

We can help you prepare for the theory test while learning to drive. Ask your instructor questions in the test to build up the confidence you need to pass the first time.
