Automatic vs Manual Driving Lessons
When it comes to learning to drive, one of the first decisions you’ll need to make is whether to take automatic driving lessons or manual driving lessons. Both options have their own benefits, and the right choice depends on what makes you feel most comfortable and confident on the road.
At Acorn School of Motoring, we offer both automatic and manual lessons across Blackburn, Darwen, Accrington, Preston, and surrounding areas. Whether you’re a complete beginner or returning after a break, we’ll help you choose the lessons that suit you best.
What Are Automatic Driving Lessons?
Automatic driving lessons are taught in cars without a clutch pedal. The car changes gear for you, which means you can focus on steering, braking, and observing the road without worrying about gear changes.
Who Are They Best For?
Nervous or anxious drivers
First-time learners
Those who want to learn quickly
People who struggle with clutch control
Many learners choose automatic driving lessons because they find them simpler and less stressful, especially in busy traffic.
What Are Manual Driving Lessons?
Manual driving lessons involve learning to drive a car with a gear stick and clutch pedal. You’ll learn how to change gears smoothly, manage clutch control, and handle different road conditions.
Who Are They Best For?
Drivers who want a full UK driving licence for both manual and automatic cars
People who like to have more control over the car
Those who may need to drive manual cars for work or travel
Though it takes a bit more practice, many people enjoy the flexibility and skill that comes with driving a manual car.
Which Is Easier to Pass In?
Generally, learners tend to pass quicker in automatic driving lessons because there’s less to manage during the test. However, with the right instructor and enough practice, manual driving lessons can also lead to a first-time pass.
At Acorn School of Motoring, we offer mock driving tests for both options to help you feel fully prepared before your practical test day.
Additional Lesson Options for Both
Whether you choose automatic or manual, we offer a full range of options to suit your learning style:
Intensive Driving Courses
If you want to learn fast, our intensive driving courses pack several hours of lessons into a shorter period. Ideal for learners on a tight schedule.
Block Book Driving Lessons
Save money and secure regular lesson times by choosing our block book driving lessons. Available for both automatic and manual.
Female Driving Instructor
Prefer to learn with a female instructor? We have a female driving instructor available for both automatic and manual lessons.

Been off the road for a while? Our refresher driving courses help you rebuild confidence whether you drive an automatic or manual car.
