Nick

"I have been a Driving Instructor for 6 years, and for the last 4 years I have been teaching in an automatic car.

"Why automatic?" is a question I am often asked. It all started when a friend who was moving away asked if I would like to continue teaching his pupils.

I had only really driven automatic cars whilst on holiday, and like most manual drivers I was a little sceptical. It didn't take me long though to appreciate just how versatile modern automatic cars are, and I was soon hooked!



 

What I like about teaching in an automatic car is the wide variety of pupils I get, with ages ranging from teenagers to pensioners, and from all walks of life.

One of the most memorable pupils I have ever taught was quite a character - a 76 year old Jamaican who passed on his third attempt, which shows that you are never too old to learn!"
