Do you know how to drive a manual?.

I can drive both manual and auto cars. I learned driving using manual car, it is a must here. I can relate to your experience as I also took my driving license twice. I was panic and in a hurry to get my driving license and it contribute to my failure. When I bought my first car, it was a manual car. I proudly told my mom that only 'clever-and-good' driver drives manual car while auto car is for 'not-so-clever-and-not-so-alert' driver. The very first time I drove to my office alone, I was really afraid. I spent my night ( a day before the real driving experience) thinking on how to brake, how to control the car and how to stop the car in the middle of the traffic jam and traffic lights,how to drive uphill and so on (so amazing life!)

I wish I did but I learned on an automatic and stuck with that. I've tried manual and I don't think I'm very well coordinated because I could never get the foot pedal and hand movements to quite go together...lol...

my first car was a manual, and it was a gift from my dad and i thought nothing about it...everything came easy for me (even without the power steering!) until i bought my own auto car on 2005...gosh! heaven!! i don't complain so much when i'm stuck in a slow crawling traffic nowadays..

Yes I drive a manual car. I love the idea of being able to hop in any car I like and be able to drive it efficiently. I have also taught two of my daughters how to drive manual cars but my other daughter doesn't really have the co-ordination for driving a manual so I taught her how to drive an automatic. I do know what you mean about the driving instructors though. My youngest daughter is currently learning on how to drive a manual and the instructor she had has really different views on how to drive than I do lol. I would definately say I am a safer driver than that instructor though and am in the process of finding a different instructor than that one.

I was taught in a manual car and drive one now - I have driven automatics but I still prefer the manual because you are always in full control of the car which you're not with an automatic.

I learned to drive in a manual shift 1 ton farm truck. My brother-in-law taught me. At first I drove in a field then graduated to the country backroads. We owned a small manual shift car for a while them my husband got me my own car and it was automatic. I drove whichever one was nearest to the end of the driveway to the house for a long time. Now I have a customized van and it is automatic. I love it. Don't thimnkI would ever go back to a manual shift vehicle - the automatic is so much easier when driving in heavy traffic and driving on the interstate highways.

I drive a manual car, in fact I wouldn't know how to drive an automatic car, people laugh at me when I say that but I really don't know how as the three cars I have had have all been manual cars and that was what I learnt in....

oh I never drive manual .

I drive a Manual Car as I do not like Automatics at all My Boyfriend actually drives an Automatic lol but I do not like them I find them boring to drive

I learned to drive in a manual car and drove one for roughly ten years but for the last 4 years I have driven an automatic and would probably find it hard going back to manual, the luxury of not having to constantly change gear has made me lazy.

I learned by watching my dad driving a manual but I started with an automatic when I was 8 years old in Mexico, then I learned to drive a manual, it is harder but I like it more than automatic because I like moving the gear shift front and back.

I'm currently driving an automatic and have done for the past 12 years. I learned on a manual and passed my driving test first go. I love the ease of driving an automatic but I also love really driving by using the gears to power around corners, overtake etc. My car has the option to select lower gears and I rarely use them but recently I had to drive on a dirt road that was muddy and boggy. On the way out I swerved to miss a puddle and the car lost traction and slid across the road gaining speed and spinning out. Luckily I got it under control but I ended up bogged and had to be pulled out. On the return journey I selected a lower gear and drove very slowly, arriving home without any further mishap. How great it is to have the option to select a lower gear when it's required.

I'm driving manual car til now. I'm happy that I learn from a manually operated car because I can now learn automatic easily. I believe it's easier to learn from manual to automatic than vice versa.

My car is a automatic, but when i can i drive my dads car, it has a manual. i like his car a lot more. The auto makes driving a chore and boring, at least with a manual there is something to concentrate on other than "was that light yellow or red when i finally got threw it?"

Yes i have learnt to drive a manual recently but am still not perfect. All i need now is practice. And my instructor none other than my husband and he took all the pain to see that i drive well. He has taught me well and whenever we move out he prefers that i drive while he is there by my side.

I actually passed in a manual and have a full manual licence and that was back in 1989, ever since then I have been driving automatics, I love automatic, because I hate gear changing, and when you're in traffic it's a nightmare. Automatic's are far easier to drive and make driving far more enjoyable too. Although I can drive a manual I would never drive a manual for the rest of my natural, I hate them. Automatics every time for me!

I learned off a manual too. But I like driving an automatic better. I took my driving test using a automatic. And guess what I failed it too.LOL And I didnt have any excuse.LOL

UNtil the car I have now, I only drove a standard transmission. I really don't like an automatic but if they don't make the vehicle you want with a standard what can you do. When starting to drive an automatic, I was so happy people had seatbelts, since I would keep trying to clutch the brake. After 9 years, I still go to shift a stick shift that is not there.

yeah i know how to drive a manual car.But now,i'm not sure if i can drive it or not because all car in my house are all in automatic.So it kinda hard to remember it.I didn't know that in other country,you can use a automatic car to take a driving license?? In my country,we only have to use the manual car to take the driving license and i pass my driving exam.

you'd better buy this kind of book to help you.
