And where are you from? And how old? Not "do you" but just if you know how.

I'm in the US, mid 30s and can (and do) drive a manual transmission.

This is fascinating to me, I'm curious what happened as to why you couldn't leave a parking spot. Were you trying to back out or pull forward out of the spot?

    I think that the problem was that I was using the left foot too much, because I'm too used to use the clutch a lot for doing these maneuvers. A friend of mine told me that the first thing to learn is that the left foot should rest. Anyhow, I think with some patience I could have done it, but I didn't feel safe to drive in the traffic like that for the first time.
