Im wanting to learn as quick as possible but I wont be able to get the money together for a crash course. Would I need less lessons if I learnt in an automatic cos I wouldnt have to pick up the whole gears thing?

Yes, an automatic would be much easier to take a drivers test than a stick shift if you are not familiar with it.

I learned in an automatic cos i couldnt do the gears.I dont think you would need less lessons i started learning once a week (1hr lesson)from febuary to november but the last month i had a couple of 2hr lessons and i passed first time but its really nothing to do with gears or no gears its the way you show the instructor how you can drive on the road.But good luck anyway. :)

Virtually every one will tell you that it`s "easier" in a Auto, ITS NOT, it`s different that's all, you still need to be able to drive , with all that it entails in terms of "road - craft" . With the traffic conditions that are a fact of modern driving, having one less thing to do, the medieval act of stamping on a pedal and moving a lever is one of them. make for a much safer time.
Some people never get the "hang" of changing gears manually and so drive only autos, that doesn't make them any less of a driver than the "macho" nutters.

It's best to know how to drive with a standard vehicle. Once you do, driving with an automatic is gravy. If you don't you may never get back to trying to learn the other way because of time, vehicle and money, and you'll never know when the time comes when you'll need that knowledge.

So you want to take the "easy option" and learn in an automatic, why? Unless you have a physical infirmity there is no need. Learn to drive properly, in a manual transmission, then you can drive any car. Learn in an auto, you are stuck with them. If your car is being serviced, or if you are on holiday and need transport, most courtesy and hire cars are manuals with a premium for auto (if they can source one for you anyway).

but thats the point, you will have to learn the gears thing even if you are going to drive an automatic car, because a driver should always have the idea of whether its car can pick up in a particular situation or not for which the driver will have to know the gear status, current engine noise/load and the ability of the next gear to drive ahead.

I'm not sure, it might be slightly quicker to get to grips with but it will mean that if you ever want to drive a manual car you will have to take another exam. i'd just do the manual, and then you've got the choice of either. Good luck
