Learning manual gives you a licence to drive both manual and automatic vehicles, giving you the most flexibility. Manual cars are still more common in the UK and often cheaper to run and buy. Most driving schools recommend learning manual unless you have specific reasons to choose automatic.
The average learner takes 45 hours of professional lessons before passing. The DVSA practical test lasts around 40 minutes and assesses independent driving, manoeuvres and response to hazards. Pass rates nationally average around 45-50%.
An ADI (Approved Driving Instructor) has completed all three DVSA qualifying tests and holds a green badge. A PDI (Potential Driving Instructor) is still in training and holds a pink badge. Both can legally teach, but ADIs are fully qualified.
Manual driving lessons in the UK typically cost between £28 and £55 per hour. The national average is around £35-38/hr. Prices are higher in London and South East England. Block-booking packages often reduce the per-lesson cost by 5-15%.
