This is the best automatic explanation video I have seen. I used to panic that once I had set off I immediately had to gauge how much acceleration I needed and press the acceleration pedal. I realise now in an automatic I don't have to. That's a fundamental difference to me as a very nervous learner.

I decided that driving was not for me. But then after few years I decided to try again but this time with an automatic car. I couldn't believe how easy it was to drive without having to fiddle with gears and the clutch. I passed the driving test without any issues on my first attempt. I bought my first car a week later and I've been driving it since. I love driving and I will never switch back to manual 😄 PS. I know how to drive a car with stick shift but I just don't like it.

Learned how to drive Manual entirely with the help of your videos ("clutch down, first gear, handbreak off..."), passed and got my license, and fell in love with driving. At my family's insistence though, had to sell my manual and the new one's an automatic, and you're absolutely right. It's just not fun anymore, not being involved with the gear. They should make cars that have convertible transmission or something, that Auto lovers can drive Auto and Manual lovers can do it manually.

[@no.7893]

I mean I think most modern automatic transmissions (or at least Dual clutch transmissions anyway) allow for the driver to leave the gearing to the cars ECU or the driver can take control of the gears themselves by pushing the gear shifter into a manual position or by using paddle shifters as seen in this video. The only aspect of it that you really miss out on is clutch control as I'm not aware of any car that allows the driver to choose between automated and manual control without requiring an entire transmission swap.

Skepticism towards automatics often tends to be down to the costs. Its because they can often be more expensive to buy, and a lot more expensive to fix if anything goes badly wrong with the gearbox. I haven’t learned to drive yet myself, but if/when I do all my family would rather me drive manually, where as I keep thinking I’ll be better off doing automatic.

[@skabbymuff111]

Thanks for this. Just bought a car in the UK after not having driven for 5yrs (was another country), and this is really helpful as I've completely forgotten everything that used to be a reflex ahaha!

[@jessicaprice1755]

I'm buying my first automatic car soon and I've been quite nervous about driving it. This video helped a lot! Thank you

[@georgiareed5774]

My 5 year old, vehicle mad son who woke me up at 5:55am this Saturday morning asking 'why automatic cars drive differently' really enjoyed this video 😂 In fact, I ended up watching the whole thing alongside him!

[@hoodnationproductions]

2 things I like about automatics is Some have manual mode and my second favourite thing is creeping forward where u can just do it down the road

[@ConquerDriving]

They're certainly easier.

[@louisehulme5945]

I have just started to learn in an automatic I have had two lessons. This was very helpful. Thank you.

[@ConquerDriving]

You're welcome

[@luggystykz]

Appreciate this. I learned and passed in manual but my brother has an automatic that needs moving across Devon but doesn’t have a full license, so now I need to figure out how to drive a car I’ve never driven before. This was a help.

[@ebonyc5562]

I appreciate this video so much. Very well detailed and explained. Just had my first driving lesson and felt so lost. Now I’ll watch this video 30 times a day to get more confident. Thank you.

[@Angel222energy]

I'm someone who doesn't go out often, mainly for work, so I never saw the need to learn to drive asap. I'm still in my early 20s, but I'm starting to regret not learning. As I'm at work and don't really have time, I've decided to go for automatic lessons, also because I get quite anxious in cars - even just as a passenger. My first automatic lesson is on Thursday and I can't wait to begin my driving experience! Definitely doing a lot of research & learning to understand how automatic works before my first lesson! Thank you for providing great resources to learners!

[@ConquerDriving]

I hope it goes well!

[@mickyjj9698]

I really like your teachings, pure genius

[@deemitchell4893]

I passed in a manual last week but bought my mums Mercedes (auto) it feels like I’m learning all over again 😂 I wish I’d learnt to drive 10 years ago, maybe I wouldn’t feel so stressed 😬

[@ConquerDriving]

Congratulations on passing!

[@mp4986]

CVT stands for Continuously Variable Transmission by the way.

[@ConquerDriving]

😄 Constant, continuous... Which part of the terminology police are you stationed with?

[@mp4986]

@@ConquerDriving Haha currently stationed at the Sydney, Australia branch of Nit Picking Anonymous. You might have got away with it if you hadn't said "velocity" as well :) Either way they're rubbish, I'll give you that. :)

[@azumitsu5234]

I got a automatic car transmission for my birtday gift. I was getting shoked when it suddenly move😂that's the reason why i watched this. Thanks for teach me.❤

[@joyyirehhuldah3323]

Wow, thank you for your wonderful lesson, I’m a still learning automatic, first time driver, that’s why I like your teaching, you’re very honest instructor, love and blessing from Fiji 🇫🇯

[@elitwinks5822]

Just passed on a manual but inherited an auto. Grateful but gutted - I love using the gearstick . Getting ready to collect the manual today and check you out - you're the best teacher!

[@ConquerDriving]

Thank you for watching, congratulations on passing!

[@ocelot2234]

This helped me drive automatic cars for the first time 👍🏻

[@ConquerDriving]

I'm happy to help 😊

[@sajalbhatnagar16]

Conquer Driving I have a doubt. I have the new 2019 grand i10 Automatic. When I am going uphill, and release the brake pedal, it starts rolling back. It doesn't crawl forward in Drive mode. What should I do in that case??

[@dancoulson6579]

Driven a manual for over 10 yrs, but got my first auto yestarday. Love it.

[@ConquerDriving]

They are relaxing.

[@darkcreatures]

Been driving for a few years and Id call myself a good driver... Only recently occurred to me that I've only ever driven manual so this video is informative enough to fill the gaps, great job 👍

[@nsmiracle8248]

Passed my manual test on Monday gone with 4 minors (but want an auto hence me watching this haha). Your videos have been an amazing help so just wanted to thank you

[@donnastpierre2252]

Great video as always, I’m learning in automatic, I purchased a car before taking lessons my partner had to drive it back home for me,he said it was the smoothest drive ever,he’s always drove manual,I’ve picked up driving an automatic very easy to the point my driving instructor has no hesitation to put me in for my driving test as soon as I’ve passed my theory ( which is in 3 weeks 😬😬) I only started learning in December. you cover every angle Richard your videos are so informative thank you 🙏🏻. X

[@AshStaitBrand]

Very good tutorial and very informative, this guy should have his own tv show! :)

[@ConquerDriving]

Haha, thank you.

[@YHWHs1598]

I collect my new car in a few days and this video has helped refresh my driving senses a great deal. Thanks so much ☺️🙌🏾❤️

[@kelseysteel2782]

i’m starting my first automatic lesson tomorrow because i hated the gears driving in a manual so this put me at ease seeing there isn’t anything to worry about

[@shaf2317]

the first and only straightforward tutorial i've found so far, very clear and easy to understand

[@ronniebrown6225]

Good video. I liked also how you included the different types of gearbox's ( personally I detest CVT's) In the last 18 months I have changed to an automatic, I have a Ford Focus 2 litre powershift and I find the DSG system extremely good and very smooth and I can still get a reasonable mileage from the car 55-60 mpg without driving like miss daisy. As I said at the start a good informative video.

[@Anotherusernameistaken]

it's time for me to change my car and was considering if I should switch to an automatic or just stick to manual and honestly thank you, you explained it really well :)

[@Tis1kay]

going to start learning auto this year after quitting manual. thanks for the vid

[@josephmckeemajury]

I wish that I would have watched this BEFORE I took a test drive in a brand new automatic. I made the mistake of taking my foot off the brake when I stopped at lights, and of course the car started to drive straight into the car in front of me. It was a minor bumper to bumper accident, and no-one was injured, but it was a costly mistake, I had to pay a £500 insurance access to the dealers insurers, as I was covered by their insurance for the test drive. If it had have been on my insurance, my access would have only been £100. As I said, a costly mistake, but the worse part was walking back into the Dealers afterwards. I had been driving since 1978 with never having had an accident, something that I was pretty proud of. Hence the reason I'm on here getting tips before I take receipt of my new Automatic in June (plus a couple of lessons from a friend). Always easy to be wise after the event. Thanks for the video, very helpful.

[@murielscott9958]

Just got my first automatic car. Useful video (as always). Thank you.

[@ekdoteenchaarpanch]

Pleeease share more tips and different videos for automatic cars! Thank you. Love your videos btw!
