>almost crashed multiple times in my driving lesson
yeah kinda dont want to drive ever again.

>>82191321 (OP)
Erm. That's the point of the lessons. If you didn't almost crash then you wouldn't need them. Duh doy

>>82191321 (OP)
Skill issue. I got my license during covid and didn't have to take a driver's test. Also I knew how to drive because I played tons of racing games by that point

>>82191321 (OP)
Did you get that image off a discord server? I posted it recently.
I have a feeling I know you?

Maybe this is just a crackpot theory

>>82191321 (OP)
You should never be behind the driving wheel anyway.

>>82191327

How do you learn to change gear in manual?

>>82191330
This, I'm good at drunk driving because I played a lot of Mario Kart

>>82191321 (OP)
Seriously?
I mean, isn't driving a car very intuitive?
I basically never even scraped a cone during lessons. Kinda like a videogame.
The real stress of driving comes from being on the road in my shitty worn down manual that dies on every red light and I have five fat fucks honking at me while I desperately try to start the car while the clutch cries out in pain.
But when you drive an actually good/safe car, it's fun and relaxing.

>>82191321 (OP)
are you that stupid? just pay him and he will give you a license for money

>How do you learn to change gear in manual?
you don't

Do people really struggle with driving a car? Driving is made super easy these days. Reverse camera sensors, side view cameras/sensors, all sorts of shit. I drive a 2007 shitbox and I don't have to use any of that stuff.

Yea i got my license for manual car and still don't know how to change gear. It's easy from 1-2 since you don't drive fast in the training area but on the road it's different. When i ask at what speed should i down gear from sth like gear 5 to 3 so the car don't rev they just tell me to feel it like wtf.

>>82191321 (OP)
Me too, me too anon, never driven a car before and first lesson : let's get out in the street!!
I had to teach myself in a empty parking lot for like 10 hours, still bad at driving but I'm getting very better and soon I'll do the driving test

>>82191549
Anons on here struggle with anxiety and other mental illnesses so they get in their heads. Driving isn't that hard

>>82191606
It is not about the speed, it's about the RPM.
The other meter (? esl sorry) next to your speed gauge.
You can tell what the engine likes by just listening to it. Pay attention to the sounds its making. It should be pretty obvious when it's struggling.
It really is about feel, and feel is something you learn by experience.
Also, you shouldn't shift down multiple gears unless you're going very slow and letting the momentum do the work. There's a reason they call it the money shift.

>Don't crash at all during my driving test and pass
yeah I still don't care to drive. I'll uber.

How do you stop at high speed? Just press the clutch and brake? Do i have to down gear at the same time?

>>82191745
i never drove a car faster than 10 km/h buut i watched a yt video so here's the answer:
There's two ways to slow down a car at high speeds. 1. You gradually slow down with the brakes and you downshift accordingly. This is kinda annoying.
2. You slow down until ~1k rpm in the gear you are currently in and then hold the clutch until you're slow enough for 1st gear

I just drive buddy and I drive fast or slow depending on how I feel. Sometimes I scream as loud as I can on the highway because not many people can hear me. I wake up early dude and I drive to work by 3am and I dont know how I got here or why I have to do this. Im pretty sure this was like some type of extreme crime that occurred in space time.

>>82191822
I'll just stick with automatic car since i don't work in a job that requires me to drive a manual one anymore.

>>82191745
In an emergency you can slam the brake and then depress the clutch when you're coming to a stop to prevent the engine from dying. Or you can just hold them both down.
If you want to stop at a sudden light, for example, you can either down gear gradually while slowing down 5>4>3>2>1 or you can slow down enough in 5th, then go into neutral and brake until you're at an acceptable speed to switch into 2nd, and then first.
Honestly, I'm probably not the best person to be giving out car advice though. I'm sure there are plenty of helpful youtube tutorials out there.

I love manual. It turns a boring shoebox into a zipper.

>>82191973
It's pain in the ass to drive especially when there is a traffic jam.

>>82192032
Well ackshually by idling in neutral, one time I got rear-ended and it was no big deal. Not even a scratch. The bumper did its job.
