    Lol, where I live we still learn to drive on manuals since 99% of cars owned here are manuals and I literally don’t see how learning to drive and a manual at the same time is such a problem.

      It’s virtually the opposite here. Most cars are automatics. Lots of drivers never learn how to operate a manual transmission, because they simply don’t have to.

      I’m just biased by my own experience, I guess. I was relieved to already be familiar with the basics of operating a car. It made easier to concentrate on shifting when I already knew the “feel” of driving.
