💨 Abstract
The author, Jess Austin, recounts her struggles with passing the manual driving test in the UK, failing four times due to issues with gear changing and hesitation. She eventually passed her test in the US using an automatic car, finding it much easier. Despite her success in the US, her UK license expired, and she decided to pursue an automatic license in the UK due to the upcoming ban on new petrol and diesel cars, which will make manual skills less relevant.
