    The number of lessons varies from learner to learner. However, many students do find that automatic lessons are easier than manual because there is not clutch or gear changing, so fewer lessons are needed to gain confidence.

    Many learners find automatic lessons easier as there is no clutch or gear changing. This allows you to concentrate fully on the road, signs and hazards.
