And where are you from? And how old? Not “do you” but just if you know how.

I’m in the US, mid 30s and can (and do) drive a manual transmission.

    Im from Germany. Im almost done with my license and I feel rather comfortable driving with a manual transmission.

    Keep in mind that here in Germany, some people study months for the theory test and driving lessons are driven with an instructor and are mandatory (including things like driving at night/on the highway/on country roads etc.)

        Yeah like US and Australia. You apply for a learner’s licence and get driving lessons from friends or family members that already have a full licence

        That’s why literally everyone drives the moment they turn 16, it’s cheap and easy to get a licence

            That’s… still not a lot. In Germany you’re legally required to drive 40 hours with a licensed driving teacher and sit in school for 25 hours of theory learning before you’re even allowed to attempt taking the test
