Can you drive a manual transmission? (lemm.ee)

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.

Lol I think you'd manage.

It can be more confusing than you think at first, all the N/D/L stuff, some then also have 1/2/3, which "gear" to you start the car in, what to do when you come to a full stop (nothing, doh), ...

The very first time I sat behind one was to drive a family friend home who drunk a bit too much, with his own car... I was a bit overwhelmed

Don't forget the good old mistake of hitting the brake when searching for the clutch pedal (though that only happend to me once as I drove automatic the first time)
