💨 Abstract

The author recounts their struggles with passing the manual driving test in the UK, failing four times due to issues like gear changing and hesitation. They eventually passed a driving test in the US using an automatic car, finding it much easier. Despite the success, their UK license remains unobtained. The author plans to learn to drive an automatic car in the UK, citing the upcoming ban on new petrol and diesel cars and the prevalence of electric vehicles as reasons to avoid manual driving.
