I think that having an automatic will give you more confidence , as you don’t have to worry when you’re in traffic or going up busy hills. . We only have one car now and find it’s fine for us.
I’m only a local driver and rely on Dh for longer journeys , but I wouldn’t give up altogether. Just take it slowly with the automatic, you will soon get used to it. Dh tells me to forget I have a left leg , keep it out of the way. You only need your right leg!
Good luck and be brave!

I'm a nervous driver who sticks to short local journeys. It really would be sensible if we cut back to just one car so we have bought a mini clubman . It's smaller than Husband's previous car but bigger than mine - and automatic which I'm not used to. We haven't got rid of mine yet but it's getting on a bit and we really don't need 2 cars. I could do with some tips and encouragement to help me adapt to the new car. I don't want to give up driving completely yet
