Remain calm, themore nervous you are, the more mistakes you'll make. Keep a cool head and you'll do fine.

Also, crank the steering as for as it'll go, put it in reverse, rev the crap out of it and let the clutch go.

Nice work. When you're driving in traffic, be assertive when changing lanes, or people will get pissed.

It's so odd reading about people learning how to drive in manual's. I wish it was like that in the states.

Anyways, best of luck, I'm sure you will do well!

Manual or as the Americans say Stickshift all the way

Can you not take lessons in the states with a manual or do they really all have automatic gearboxes?

Not sure about the States, but in Australia, most people learn to drive autos first, then manuals. Easier that way.

I'd just stick with the current one, if it's not abominably bad. Driving is not remarkably difficult...
