Adjusting to an auto after years with a manual

[Grandad Gaz]

A quick question please.

I have been driving for about 45 years. Always had a manual, but now seems the time to move over to an auto. Anyone have any useful tips they could share to help avoid a disaster?

Thanks

Thanks Some really useful stuff there.

Probably going for a Rav4 Hybrid. The petrol models all seem to be autos for some reason?
