Has the thrill and freedom that comes with gripping the steering wheel ever made you feel like a true master of control? Slogging through a set of manual driving lessons provides exactly that. If you’re aiming to hone your craft, Z Plus Drive will gladly step in as your instructor! We will explore the reasons why learning manual remains a masterstroke in decision making in the year 2025! Are we prepped? Let’s rev it up!
What Are Manual Driving Lessons, Anyway?
For those unfamiliar with the concept of driving, allow us to explain:
Manual driving is defined as controlling a vehicle that has a clutch and a gear stick.
An automatic would be the opposite – the vehicle does the gear changing for you.
Doesn’t sound too complex, does it?
And that is a huge part of everything manual driving lessons entail. Control. Timing. Coordination. Precision. And let’s face it, feeling like a Formula One driver every time you execute a perfectly smooth gear transition does not hurt either.
At Z Plus Drive, we prioritise making manual driving lessons simple to understand for everyone, be it first-timers or those looking to transition from automatic to manual driving.
Why Choose Manual Driving Lessons Over Automatic?
Is the manual worth the bother, though?
This is why thousands of wise drivers like you are manual every single year.
1. Ultimate Control Over Your Car
You control the power.
You control the speed.
You control the experience.
In advanced and complex scenarios such as hasty uphill drives and snow navigation, cars can roll back. Overtaking buses, manoeuvring slippery roads during rain and snow, and snowploughs violently mix, zip and dash in and out of lanes would require control.
2. Manual Drivers = Better Drivers
Since many people learn manual driving skills, they end up having more optimised driving abilities.
Being more aware of road conditions as well as how the vehicle performs makes you more in tune. It’s like enhanced driving instincts!
Little known fact: It is often the case that manual drivers tend to outperform automatic drivers in terms of fast reactions in emergency situations such as mid road accidents. Studies have proved this.
3. Unlock More Vehicle Choices
Wish to drive that fuel-efficient compact car?
That sporty hatchback?
Or that plus that rugged SUV?
Most of the cars that are internationally supplied are manual and come with a manual license. If you learn with an automatic geared car first then it’s guaranteed you’ll be left with an automatic only flag but if you learn with a manual license flag, you’ll have access to both.
(Hint: The taste of freedom is worth a lot. 😎)
4. Lower Cost for Purchasing and Serving
Manual cars generally have:
Cheaper than automatic.
Cheaper repairs.
Lowered insurance payments.
What manual operator doesn’t appreciate free cash and saving money while pretending to be one of the pros?
