While many of our clients opt to go for the Manual option, some learner drivers cannot because of physical disabilities or past injuries where clutch control for a manual car is near impossible.
Although it is important to note that many drivers in the USA opt to drive ‘stick’ (automatic) and that manual drivers are the minority in America. In fact, according to automobile stats in the USA, only 13 percent of the new cars that go on the market are manual transmission.
Driving a Manual Transmission Makes You Multi-skilled
South Africa is the opposite and driving instructors recommend going for the manual option as you will have the good fortune of being able to easily drive both transmissions. The same cannot be said about learner drivers who pass their driving exam using an automatic vehicle. The actual driver’s test is exactly the same so why wouldn’t you master the clutch if you physically can
Being able to master clutch control is a valuable tool as you are multi-skilled, and in case of an emergency whereby you are required to drive a manual car, you can easily slot in and be able to help those in need who might be rushed to hospital.
BTK53 prides itself in giving the best of both worlds. We understand that everyone is different and some face harder challenges that others. We are help you on your way and teach you how to drive smart and safe.
