A smoother way to learn, with less stress behind the wheel
If you’re thinking about learning to drive in an automatic car, you’re not alone. More and more people in Portsmouth are choosing automatic driving lessons — and for good reason. With no gears or clutch to worry about, it’s simpler, smoother, and often less stressful.
Whether you’re a brand new learner or someone returning to driving after a break, automatic lessons could be a great fit.
Why choose automatic?
1. No gears, no clutch – just focus on the road
Ideal for nervous drivers or anyone who finds manual gear changes tricky
Great for city driving, especially in Portsmouth where stop-start traffic is common
Often quicker to learn, meaning you could save time and money
2. Learn at your pace
Everyone learns differently. Some prefer weekly lessons that build up skills gradually. Others might opt for an intensive course to get test-ready quickly. We offer both — and we’ll tailor your training to suit your goals, schedule, learning style and preferred transmission!
3. A driving instructor who suits you
Choosing the right instructor makes all the difference. At 1Drive, our automatic driving instructors are patient, friendly, and highly experienced. We’ll match you with someone who helps you feel calm and confident every step of the way.
Whether you’re aiming to pass quickly or just want to feel relaxed in the driver’s seat, we’ll support you throughout.
