I have never learned how to drive cars with manual transmissions. My father was going to teach me when I was younger, but never got around to it. And I never pushed him because I didn’t want to drive his big pickup truck, I am much more comfortable driving smaller cars (they are much easier to park too!) However, I know that once you leave North America almost all of the cars use manual transmissions. How hard is it to learn how to drive cars with manual transmissions? People always seem to be grinding gears and messing up the cars when they show them learning on TV.
