Having Turkish parents and traveling frequently means I need to learn how to drive a manual car.
The difference between manual and automatic transmissions is like night and day. The real challenge with manual cars is getting them moving—balancing the clutch, shifting into gear, and then accelerating.
I recently came across an image that made me laugh, because it perfectly captured the experience of another driver navigating the same learning curve as me. I sometimes feel bad for the people behind me and wish I could drive like the car was an automatic, but I’m slowly getting better.
