Learning to drive myself. I started at 20 and am now 41 but each time I've learnt to drive and am ready to take my test I end up moving somewhere and having to wait again before I have the money to continue. It's possible the same thing might happen this time if I get offered a job at the end of the year. I actually had to retake my theory test last week because it's expired since the last time I took it. There wasn't even a theory test back in 1994.
Anyway, I've been learning on manual cars since I've started and until this thread that I forgot that automatics actually exist. I'm curious now as to what it must be like driving one. I'm wondering if automatics are preferable in America because they have larger roads and flatter, wider expanses of land. Driving around Edinburgh which is built on several hills, I can't count the number of times I've had to get into a lower gear for either going up or to use as an engine break coming down.
