Do you drive manual or auto in NY Kaz? I drove both when I was in the States. It took a bit to get used to changing gears with my right hand but soon get used to it don't you?

I have driven a manual car(or stick shift as we call it) and it was horrible.

I've had my permit for nearly four years, failed the test five times. If I fail my next one I have to take the written test all over again </3

Yeah, the whole gear thing is the hardest part of learning to drive. Here though if you sit your driving test in an automatic car you're still not licensed to drive a manual until you pass the test in a manual car

Yeah. Can't really drive a manual too well honestly.


My Volkswagen is my pride and joy though

I once took a company test in a Land Rover with, effectively, 20 manual gears :

4 forward gears, 1 reverse (main gear stick - black) - normal
high ratio and low ratio lever (red knob on top) - doubles gears to 10
2wd or 4wd (yellow knob) - 2 wheel drive for normal road driving and 4 wheel drive for off-road or when road conditions require - e.g. ice and snow)

Luckily, I didn't get the model with additional Fairey Overdrive .....

Auto annie,as they are the only cars my brother has,but I got used to them when I lived there,so it's no problem for me,more of a problem is remembering to drive on the right side of the road,lol.

Hell of a lot more convenient too
Yeah I felt that way too, I did 3 months of lessons when I turned 17 but my instructor was terrible (he smoked cigarettes while I drove...) and I had no passion for it at all, then when I was 19 and home from uni for the summer my mum decided to book me a theory test so I had to learn theory without having driven a car in like two years, which I passed, and then it was due to expire this summer just past so I started learning to drive again and managed to pass in 65 days which I was pretty proud of. I have a passion for it now but I think I'm quite nervous because I really wasn't learning for very long and then I had to go back to uni so I've barely driven a car since I passed in August.

Women don't need gears other than 1st and 3rd.

Thanks guys! My examiner was a right knob, so reluctant to pass me; he was like, 'i'm happy to tell you, you've passed' and I was like 'are you actually serious?' then he was like 'well it wasn't very good though was it' and I was like 'well it will ****ing do me, thanks'... my instructor was furious with the guy, so so rude.

He was just pissed I didn't do enough from to fail me.. could just tell he didn't like me. Complaint submitted!
