Title: Rise in Automatic Vehicle Preference Among Learner Drivers in Lincolnshire Anticipating Electric Future
Driving instructors in Lincolnshire have noticed a noteworthy ascent in learners showing preference for automatic vehicles. This trend comes as the county braces itself for the upcoming prohibition on fresh sales of petrol and diesel cars scheduled for 2030. Local instructor, Mike Nunn, from Lincoln has remarked that learners seem increasingly conscious of the gradual move to electric vehicles, which are mainly automatic. Similarly, Lincoln and Sleaford-based instructor Kev Lynes suggests the differentiation between manual and automatic licenses may fade in time due to the prevalence of hybrid and electric cars.
The AA projects that by 2026, more than a quarter of driving examinations will be carried out in automatic vehicles. This illustrates the wider national movement that local instructors are witnessing. This transformation is influencing how drivers learn, with an increased number of instructors across and beyond Lincolnshire choosing automatic vehicles, addressing the demands of a future centred on vehicles with zero emissions.
