Absolutely an excellent trainer. From the day one, she started building up my confidence and gave me the most friendly service throughout. She was really patient with me even with all the mistakes I've made and not to mention every time she encouraged me giving assurance. I had huge doubts regarding my skills on passing the driving test at the first time before taking sessions with her but her expert knowledge and tips in slow manoeuvres to all general driving techniques made it possible for me to achieve that. I should admire her ability to assess my weaknesses, strengths and address the problems I was having and helped me to fix them. That set me up for a lifetime on the road. The scores she gave me on different test drives helped me big time to pass my road test on the first try. I even got the perfect score in my theory test because of the tips and advice she gave me and also directions to access the best practice materials. She was very committed and worked really hard to make sure I would pass my test and also flexible in scheduling sessions. She is positive, enthusiastic, very thorough in teaching and always encouraging. I most definitely recommend this service to anyone with any licensing requirements. I am so happy to say that I feel confident on the road and none of this would be possible without your support. I am really grateful to you for your wonderful service. It was an awesome experience for me. Big thanks to you Cathy!!!

Automatic driving lessons or Manual driving lessons - which to take?

There is a common view that when you know how to drive a manual transmission car, it will be easier to drive an automatic (but not the other way around). However this should not be your only basis on which car driving lesson to take. Ultimately, it depends on your lifestyle and level of comfort in the road.

Automatic driving lessons are most practical for when planning to drive in the city traffic. Automatic is also preferable if you’re easily startled and need to focus more on the safety aspects of driving. If long tiring drives in the countryside aren’t your thing then it’s the way to go too. You can always opt to take manual driving lessons if you really need to later. At the very least, you got the basic road safety and awareness skills already in the bag.

Take manual driving lessons if you intend to be skillful, like to drive long hours and usually go for uphill trips. Manual transmission cars can give you full control of car performance and handling. If ever you’re required to drive a manual car when you’re in Victoria or NSW, the restrictions on automatic driving license won’t hold you back. If you have the time to spare, manual driving is worth considering.
