We’re your automatic choice!

In addition to instruction in cars with a conventional manual gearbox, Driving Ambition can provide tuition in cars with automatic gearboxes. Of course while learners who pass their driving test in a manual vehicle can also drive an automatic the reverse is not the case, nevertheless there are varying reasons for choosing to learn in an automatic. It may be that your parents or partner has an automatic car, it may simply be personal choice or it may that you need to learn to drive in an automatic for physiological and/or disability reasons.


A key element of the Driving Ambition team is inspirational character John Franklin. Driving was one of the first things that ex timber man John turned to following an accident that left him paralysed from the waist down and provided John with a lot of the freedom his accident had taken away. So when John was considering a new career path, becoming a driving instructor was the natural choice. While John is fully qualified to teach anyone of any age to drive he is concentrating on people who want to pass their driving test in automatic cars and is an inspiration for learners who have physical restrictions that mean they need to learn to drive in an automatic vehicle, either with or without hand controls.


As with manual instruction you can choose weekly driving lessons or an intensive course, Driving Ambition will help through the learning process at a pace that suits you. When you have passed the automatic driving test you may wish to take part in the Pass Plus scheme which is a course designed to help you gain some extra experience while under the supervision of a driving instructor.
