Learn to drive with ease
Automatic lessons take the clutch and the gears out of it, so you can watch the road instead. With no clutch or gears to manage, you can focus on mastering the road. I use modern automatic cars with dual controls for a safe, stress-free experience.
Why choose automatic lessons?
Simpler learning
No stalling and no gear changes, which suits beginners and nervous drivers.
Less stress
Concentrate on steering, speed and safety without the extra complexity.
Who it suits
New learners, anyone with physical limitations, and anyone who would rather keep it simple.
Driving test facts
Test vehicle requirements
You can take your Irish driving test in an automatic car: no more than 3,500 kg, seating no more than eight passengers besides the driver, and capable of at least 100 km/h.
Licence type
Pass in an automatic and your licence is automatic only. That is perfectly fine if an automatic is what you intend to drive.
Future flexibility
You can upgrade later, but it means doing the manual route from the start: back to a learner permit for manual, L plates with a qualified driver again, a manual test, then paying for the new licence. If you think you will want manual, learning manual now is cheaper.
