    This is the best automatic explanation video I have seen. I used to panic that once I had set off I immediately had to gauge how much acceleration I needed and press the acceleration pedal. I realise now in an automatic I don't have to. That's a fundamental difference to me as a very nervous learner. Its something a driving tutor should point out at the point of a first lesson ideally but wasn't. I am enjoying your videos.

    Learned how to drive Manual entirely with the help of your videos ("clutch down, first gear, handbreak off..."), passed and got my license, and fell in love with driving. At my family's insistence though, had to sell my manual and the new one's an automatic, and you're absolutely right. It's just not fun anymore, not being involved with the gear.
    They should make cars that have convertible transmission or something, that Auto lovers can drive Auto and Manual lovers can do it manually.

    • @no.7893
      @no.7893 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I mean I think most modern automatic transmissions (or at least Dual clutch transmissions anyway) allow for the driver to leave the gearing to the cars ECU or the driver can take control of the gears themselves by pushing the gear shifter into a manual position or by using paddle shifters as seen in this video. The only aspect of it that you really miss out on is clutch control as I'm not aware of any car that allows the driver to choose between automated and manual control without requiring an entire transmission swap.

    I started doing driving lessons in 2021. I did about 40 hours worth of lessons. I started doing driving lessons again a few weeks ago and I still keep yanking the gear stick, it slips into another gear. I’ve got everything else sorted but this is my downfall with manuals. I’m autistic so it’s taking me too long to pick it all up, and a lot of money. I really wanted to switch to automatic and after watching this and finding out the car doesn’t roll on a hill… I’m going to give up manual lessons immediately! This seems so much more fun and joyful. Instead of worrying about gear changes and clutches, all you have to do is focus on the road. Thanks for this video.

    Absolutely brilliant video! I took a few manual lessons at the start of the year and really struggled to get my head around the clutch which caused a lot of stress and anxiety on the roads and I was never improving in my lessons. I’ve now booked my first automatic lesson, I’m feeling less stressed already knowing I don’t have to deal with the clutch etc. Im hoping an automatic will be a lot easier for me and with your video it’s given me a bit more comfort about my decision to go automatic!

    When I was 18 I was learning to drive on a manual car and it was not a very pleasant experience as I failed my driving exam 3 times because I would get so anxious that I would stall the car in traffic. I decided that driving was not for me. But then after few years I decided to try again but this time with an automatic car. I couldn't believe how easy it was to drive without having to fiddle with gears and the clutch. I passed the driving test without any issues on my first attempt. I bought my first car a week later and I've been driving it since. I love driving and I will never switch back to manual 😄
    PS. I know how to drive a car with stick shift but I just don't like it.

      Skepticism towards automatics often tends to be down to the costs. Its because they can often be more expensive to buy, and a lot more expensive to fix if anything goes badly wrong with the gearbox. I haven’t learned to drive yet myself, but if/when I do all my family would rather me drive manually, where as I keep thinking I’ll be better off doing automatic.

      Conquer Driving I have a doubt. I have the new 2019 grand i10 Automatic. When I am going uphill, and release the brake pedal, it starts rolling back. It doesn't crawl forward in Drive mode. What should I do in that case??
