I’m doing the driving lessons and I dread them every time. I don’t feel like I’m improving much and it’s just stressful. I feel like giving up. I’m only going because I passed the theory exam with that school, and i would had to spend more money (that I don’t have) if I start again with other school, basically I’m too deep into it to stop.

Btw I now understand the hate towards manual cars. Automatic should be the only option, one less BIG distraction on the road, especially when you’re new on these things, being too soft or too rough on the clutch is a matter of millimeters is ridiculous, watching the road, the signs, the traffic lights, the cars around you, the stupid people with their bikes, while fumbling in the car with the pedals is the worst… (unfortunately you must learn manual where I’m living).

    I think the roads would be safer everybody drove a manual. It makes it harder for drivers to do other things and be distracted.

      Not really, most people here in Germany drive a manual and it doesn’t stop them from using their phone while driving

      “Operating death machine is safer if it’s more difficult” is definitely a take

      I have a car that’s both auto and manual and I use them both but I cannot agree with that.
