In the UK, most people when they learn to drive, opt for learning in a manual car. In the United states and in many other countries around the world this is not the case. In fact, manual or "stick shift" as it is known, is the minority choice.

When one is going to learn to drive an automatic you will find learning that much easier than learning in a manual car. The reason for this is that all automatics, whilst not all being exactly the same in their characteristics, have no clutch pedal. You only require one foot to control the foot pedals being the accelerator and brake.

Semi automatics differ from automatics in that when you want to change gear you must select the gear you require by either going up a gear or by going down a gear. As with a fully automatic there is no clutch pedal.

When learning to drive or ride a motorcycle it is important that you practise safe driving skills, are aware of your responsibilities and knowledgeable of the theory. For this reason, throughout this publication are included random sections of text referring to the Driving syllabus, Show Me Tell Me Questions, Theory Questions and Driving Skills.

Driving Skill:- Unless you drive an automatic, are gears smoothly and correctly selected? Is your braking smooth and progressive? Do you use acceleration sense? There is nothing worse than a driver pulling away with tyres screaming, gears crashing as they are changed and worse still, hard braking!

Skill Element - "Creeping and Peeping" is what driving instructors call the process of "Emerging".

Part of the Syllabus as it relates to driving, is knowing about "Emerging" and how to do it safely. When you learn with a dsaadi.com registered Driving Instructor, he or she will show you and explain all about "Emerging". For example:-

Who has priority at a "Give Way" junction and how to identify types of "Give Ways".
What routine to use for turning left or right when emerging from a minor road onto a major road.
The correct procedure for "Going Ahead" at a crossroads.
Knowing what is meant by the terms "Open Junction" and "Closed Junction".
What to do for the best when "Peeping and Creeping" based on what you can see.
How and where to position when emerging at junctions where your views left and/or right are obstructed.

Most people start out on the process of learning to drive with the best of intentions. In order to succeed it is helpful to receive guidance from one that knows all about what you need to learn.
