you should try automatic if you pass with it and want to drivee a manual it wont be so stressful taking a manual test knowing you can still drive your automatic reguardless. .

[JamesMFan]

That's a good way of looking at it. Everyone else has been putting it like this "Well, if you pass a Manual test you can drive an automatic anyway. So there. Nevermind that gears are fathomless to you."

'cept without the "fathomless" part since I'm the only person who'd say such a thing.

i wanted to transfer over to automatic in the midst of my miserable failures but stayed on due to familiarity with my instructer , he had talksport on the car radio during all the lessons

try it out that way for a lesson or two and if its comfortable stay with it .

that's what my dad said, he said I should learn on the manual first so if I pass it I can drive the automatic too
I might start doing it on the automatic soon, that will be interesting

I go really slow, makes sense since I've just started, but if I go onto second gear and go faster, I will have a heartattack! it's just so scary, I know I'll kill a cow or a horse or something like that

He doesnt he used to give me a lift most days though and would undo his seatbelt while reverse parking
The day after i passed i hillariously pointed out all his errors as we drove along

When I started going 10-15mph my dad was screeching "Slow dowwwwwwn!". Way to build confidence. I'll be one of those annoying 15mph people on the road.

you can very easily desppise your instructor my dad wisely didnt teach me

[JamesMFan]

if you don't get on with your instructor I think it's best to ditch them. It's too much money to be lumbered with a feckwit.

[z]

they secretly want you to fail too

[JamesMFan]

So I've heard

[z]

my one tried to shatter my confidence about twenty minutes before the successfull attempt , but i saw through it .

[JamesMFan]

Why what did he/she say?

[z]

a car I was following was turning right but left a gap that i could easily fit through , so i slowed down and went through while the car waited to turn , and he TRIED TO ACT LIKE IT WAS AN OUTRAGE THAT I NEARLY KILLED EVERYONE WITHING A FIFTY MILE RADIUS , the knob .

[JamesMFan]

Money-grabbing sods!

mae sure you get every minute you pay for too , no driving home 10 minutes early
