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.
