i think that there should be an insurance break for drivers who take their road tests with manual vehicles. it often means that you have to pay more attention to whats going on around you, so i support this too!

Can say both my son and daughter now how to operate a manually operated transmission.

Don't worry I thought that too, I am there with you...

I taught my little sister to drive 5 spd and she is now looking for her first BMW WOOT!

All of my EXes and current woman text ALL day while driving. I think driving stick would solve a lot of issues. I take their phones when I am with them.

Plus it would make them pay more mind to the road and not just gas and go with half a brain. It is a 2,700lb+ killing machine in the wrong hands.

I think all drives ed needs to be taught with manual trans cars, if you cant cut it then fuck you you cant get your license. If you cant control all 4 of your appendages and your fucking head in a coordinated manner to facilitate the operation of something as simple as car then you dont need to be on the god dammed road end of story.

Completely agree. Driving a manual transmission should be a prerequisite to getting your license.

My wife only drives manuals. It took us a bit more than a month to find a manual Subaru too. WTF? 99% were automatics, and if we did find a manual they wanted way too much for them.

Plus it would make them pay more mind to the road and not just gas and go with half a brain. It is a 2,700lb+ mad tyte dorifto machine in the wrong hands.

Though I've had limited exposure, I haven't been able to fully understand how to function SMG.

I'm just safer with 3 traditional pedals..

[bataangpinoy]

[tjts1]

[nando]
