Why choose automatic lessons in Littlehampton?

Automatic car tests across Great Britain have risen every year since 2020/21. Here is why learners in West Sussex choose them.

Easier to learn

Two pedals instead of three. No clutch coordination or gear selection means your lessons focus on road awareness and positioning from the start.

A growing choice

DVSA figures show automatic car tests in Great Britain rose from 242,713 in 2021/22 to 589,483 in 2025/26, nearly 3 in 10 of all car tests.

Electric cars are automatic

DVSA classes electric cars as automatic. New petrol and diesel cars are being phased out from 2030, and all new cars must be zero emission from 2035.

No clutch to stall

With no clutch pedal, there is no stalling from a mistimed clutch at junctions or on hills. That takes away a common worry for new drivers in busy areas like Littlehampton.

Learn at your pace

There is no minimum number of lessons or practice hours for the driving test. How many you need depends on how quickly you learn.

Licence implications

An automatic pass restricts you to automatic cars. You can upgrade later by passing a test in a manual car, so it is worth thinking about the cars you are likely to drive.

Automatic driving lessons in Littlehampton: your questions answered

Orbit's guide price for driving lessons in West Sussex is £35–£42 per hour. Some instructors in Littlehampton charge more for automatic lessons and some do not, so compare listed rates and any lesson packages before you book.

Removing manual gearbox coordination can help you focus on road skills. It does not guarantee a pass, though: across Great Britain, 44.6% of automatic car tests were passed in 2025/26, compared with 50.0% of all car tests.

No. Your licence will be restricted to automatic cars. If you ever want to drive a manual, you would need to pass a further practical test in a manual car. DVSA classes electric cars as automatic, so an automatic licence lets you drive electric cars.
