Is automatic driving an easier option?

Many pupils with learning or physical disabilities have found that learning to drive in an automatic car is an easier option and less stressful.  Although we don’t have a specially adapted car with alternative driver controls, we have taught many learners with restricted movement of their left leg using an automatic car.  We also taught pupils with learning disabilities and helped them successfully pass their practical test.

 Help for those on higher rate disability living allowance 

If you receive the higher rate of the mobility component Disability Living Allowance, then you can apply for a provisional license at 16 years old. Learners between the ages of 16-24 may get financial help from Motability towards the cost of learning to drive.
