Manual Driving Lessons in Eltham

Selecting Between Manual and Automatic License Options.

Within Victoria, the type of driver’s license you opt for has consequences on what you can drive during probation. Selecting an automatic license restricts you to driving only automatic transmission cars throughout the P1 and P2 license stages.

While you are then legally able to drive a manual car once you proceed to a full license, many new drivers find the extra requirements of a manual vehicle challenging without having completed a learning period under guidance with a qualified driving instructor.

By learning to drive in a manual car, you’ll be able to operate both manual and automatic vehicles on both probationary and full licenses.

Many new drivers will choose to learn to drive an automatic because it is easier to learn and can be quicker to master. For a learner attempting to navigate traffic, road rules and varied driving conditions this can take away an additional level of complexity. While this may be easier in the short term, there are a number of reasons having a manual license will provide long term benefits and flexibility.
