In an automatic car, gear changing happens automatically, so the focus shifts to mastering control of steering, acceleration, and brakes. Without a manual gearstick, many people believe automatics are simple to drive. In fact, a different set of skills is needed to become a truly skilled and safe automatic driver.
Affordable Driving School's automatic lessons build the foundations of car control from the ground up. Our structured programs develop strong perception, decision-making and vehicle-handling expertise. We combine classroom theory with supervised on-road practice. Students master steering techniques, smooth braking, accelerating, and stopping, reversing safely and handling hills. We teach scanning techniques to create a safer space cushion around the vehicle for hazard avoidance.
As confidence grows, lessons progress to suburban and city roads. We teach lane discipline, maintaining the flow of traffic, overtaking safely, parking, and complex intersections. Students refine indicator signalling, speed regulation, night driving and emergency stop procedures. We help you apply road rules correctly as you navigate increasingly intense traffic environments. Preparing for the driving exam is also covered.
Let Affordable Driving School Wacol provide the skills and assurance to handle an automatic car safely. Our specialised automatic driving instructors will share driving tips and strategies gleaned from years behind the wheel. Become a proficient and defensive-minded "auto" driver under their guidance!
