Do You Know How to Drive?

I'm not certain if there is/are thread or some threads like this one, but the search feature is disabled. So, I couldn't scour around for anything like this, and looking manually would probably take too long.

Anyway, I definitely know how to drive. I first learned how to drive a stick shift, otherwise known as a manual, stick, etc. Later on, I transitioned to an automatic, which was mostly very simple for me to learn how to drive.

On a side note, depending upon the vehicle's mechanics and all that jazz, many vehicles that utilize a stick shift can get better gas mileage than some vehicles that utilize an automatic. For example, my dad told me that his old 1990 Geo Prizm, which was a stick shift but he sadly doesn't have anymore, could get on 30-35 personal miles per gallon (MPG) in the city and 37-42 personal MPG on the highway. On fueleconomy.gov, it states that the same type of Prizm as my dad's gets 28 in the city and 34 on the highway, which still is great in my eyes. But of course, MPGs can vary, depending upon how mile the vehicle is driven, the price of fuel, how well the vehicle is taken care of, etc.

How about y'all?

I just started learning and learned at stick shaft. Since I'm a newbie, I've bumped into a car not too long ago. Haven't got the time to continue practicing now. I guess I got really frightened into driving again because of that incident

Nope.

I don't trust myself. I'm rubbish at those arcade racing games, so I'm petrified at what I'd be like on a road with actual people :|
