When you wish to learn to drive, you have a choice of taking your driving lessons in a manual or automatic car.
If you do pass your driving test in an automatic vehicle though, you will need to bare in mind that you will not be able to drive a manual car with that licence (UK). If however, you pass your test in a manual car, you are entitled to drive an automatic car.
A manual car has gears and three foot operated pedals. You have to change up and down the gears yourself at the appropriate time.
An automatic car has an automatic gearbox that will change the gears for you and only two foot pedals (accelerator & brake). This makes learning in an automatic car a popular choice by those learners who find it difficult to co-ordinate the gears and clutch whilst driving a manual car. Older or disabled learner drivers often find an automatic vehicle easier also.
The vast majority of people tend to learn to drive in a manual car. As a result, there are far more driving instructors and driving schools who teach in manual cars than in automatic cars. It may be more difficult therefore to find a driving instructor or driving school that undertake automatic lessons. These lessons are often more expensive also.
In the early stages of driving, it may seem easier to not have to worry about gears and the clutch pedal but most people have few problems mastering them after a suitable number of hours training and practice. Given the extra variety of vehicles that you can drive after passing your driving test in a manual car, it does make sense to persevere with your manual driving lessons even if you end up driving an automatic car subsequently.

Finding out you are pregnant is the best news of all. Well, of course only second to hearing the grand proposal. The feeling of being pregnant acts like icing on the cake of your married life.
For first time expecting mothers, arranging all the right stuff for the new baby can be a difficult task. A simple solution to this would be to prepare a list of necessary things which the new born will require, and purchasing them little by little, so that all the necessary items can be arranged for before the arrival of the new born.
But there’s another easy way to have it all, without much difficulty. Giving a baby shower party, is a perfect solution for this. And if talking about troubles in doing so, well the only possible one can be preparing the menu for the baby shower party. She can even add up the spice by giving out unique baby shower invitations to the invitees.
Now the burden of searching and looking for baby stuff is passed on to the invitees. But another concern is raised. How will the baby shower go about? The best answer there is, is to have a theme that would guide the flow of the baby shower. You can plan a unique baby shower theme. A party theme based on colors can be a good one. In case you already know the gender of the baby, pink or blue is used to universally represent a baby girl or a baby boy. Character based themes, such as the Looney Tunes, Power Puff Girls or Dexter’s Laboratory can add spice to any baby shower party.
Write a note of the gifts you received. It is quite possible that you still miss out some important baby stuff from the list, just make sure to get it before the arrival of the new baby.
Some last tips for a successful baby shower party:
Hold it four to six weeks before the due date, establish a theme, write down the guest list, set the tone and size of the baby shower, plan the games, plan the menu, create baby shower party favors, and last but not the least, set the time and location, if it will not be held in your residence.
Remember, the baby shower party is a way to welcome the new baby, so have fun in doing so.
