I understand a lot of you here are in America or possibly Canada. I am in UK and as of such we tend to have more manual (stick shift as it's known in your country) cars and therefore often the driving lessons are in a manual as is also the driving test
I am 49 and whilst I have had about 20 lessons over my lifetime, I still haven't managed to learn to drive. I find the dual concentration on using a clutch, shifting gears and using a brake pedal as well as concentrating on the road and traffic to be quite difficult. I am thinking that driving an automatic car would be much simpler and easier. It seems more and more cars here in UK are now automatic and there is even a test to do it in automatic car although that would mean you could only ever drive an automatic car and not a manual car.
I just wondered if any of you here have had difficulty learning to drive?
