Hey,
Look for advice on driving lessons, i had my 3rd lesson recently and my instructor suggested automatic lessons might be better for me. I'm just doing the basics so for... POM. Driving out from a space, driving a little then trying to drive the car park into a space. I struggle with the gears and clutch and trying to remember the order and my lessons have been fairly spaced out so it's been difficult to remember what I've done.
I already explained to my instructor is takes me a while to pick things up and learn. After my last lesson a few days ago, part through the lesson after I'd stopped she asked me how i was getting on and i did say i felt i could do better and don't feel like I've progressed.
Due to me struggling with the clutch and gears she suggested automatic lessons may be better for me as i do not have to think about gears and clutch. She explained that she doesn't want me potentially spending thousands on lessons when an automatic car may be better suited to me and i could pass quicker.
I've had no prior experience with driving before these lessons. My instructor advised she had suggested the same to other pupils who struggled with gears/clutch and she said it really depends if i have the time and money, that she would be happy to continue with lessons.
I feel as though she is trying to be supportive and perhaps with her experience she can tell that i will continue to struggle with learning the gears.
I'm prettt disheartened and not sure what to now. I want to continue doing driving lessons and part of me wants to prove her wrong! Lol
Any advice would be really appreciated
