Finally got the papers for it. Using my father's old BMW. At first, the engine just stopped all the time since I couldn't keep the gas and clutch right, but eventually, I got it rolling and turning. First day, I just drove like 25 meters, turned, drove a bit, turned, etc. Too little space to get out of gear 1. Second day, I had a bit more space, and I also tried backing around corners, which was tricky. Eventually, I got up in gear 2, and I managed to drive about 200 meters on a low traffic road (Only 2-3 meetings in total, and I did it thrice). Tried up to gear 4, and hey, I could keep the car on the road, turn, etc. Gonna take some payed lessons later, but I want to actually be able to gas, turn, and do the basic stuff without problems first. My mother has a pretty new Jeep, but it's automatic, and I obviously want to get a proper license for driving geared cars. Discuss or don't. |

Most things get easier in higher gears, actually. At first it'll feel like OH SHI- speeds, but it's pretty easy. Dangerous if you do get it wrong, of course. |

Well, the problem at first was that I had no feel for the revolving count so I watched the meter all the time, but eventually I got it. Possibly going to drive more today if I feel better and my father comes home some time. |
