all drivers should learn to drive in an Automatic first. You need to learn how to drive the car in relation to the road and traffic on it before worrying about gears etc. Once you have mastered road craft, you can advance. surgeons dont start with brain surgery.
Are you USian? 🤔
It's not exactly brain-surgery though. In 5 - 10 hours you go from 'what's this round thing in front of me' to being able to control the car and move it about comfortably. The rest is about learning what to do in traffic.
maybe not, but some tools still manage to live their whole lives without figuring out how to drive or interact with other traffic
It's not difficult enough for it to be worthwhile removing. And knowing how to drive manual means you can have cheaper and lighter cars.
i didnt say dont learn, I said learn to control the car in traffic first without distraction of gears, then learn to drive a manual. if you drive on our roads you'll know why its imperative people learn how to interact with other traffic better than they do.
Whose roads are yours? You've got me wondering where you're from.
