Southern Europe, 34. I only know how to drive with manual transmission (I tried an automatic city car once, and I literally couldn’t exit the parking spot). I’m too used to control the car with the clutch. I should learn though, because I use car sharing services, and they are progressively replacing their cars with automatic transmission ones.
I think that the problem was that I was using the left foot too much, because I’m too used to use the clutch a lot for doing these maneuvers. A friend of mine told me that the first thing to learn is that the left foot should rest. Anyhow, I think with some patience I could have done it, but I didn’t feel safe to drive in the traffic like that for the first time.
