Question 13

Should I learn in a manual or automatic car?

Look for a fully qualified ADI (Approved Driving Instructor) with good reviews.

A good instructor should be patient, clear in their explanations, and make you feel comfortable.

Question 16

Can I use my own car for driving lessons?

Accepted Answer

Most instructors prefer to use their own dual-controlled vehicles for safety reasons. However, some may offer lessons in your car for an additional fee. You would need to ensure your car is properly insured for learner driver use.
