Automatic vs. Manual
In the UK, manual learning allows you to drive both manual and automatic cars with a single license, while automatic learning restricts your license to automatics. Automatic learning is generally easier due to simpler mechanics, potentially leading to faster lessons and tests, but can be more expensive per lesson and limits future car choices. Manual learning offers wider vehicle options but requires mastering clutch and gear changes, which can be more challenging.
