You would probably have to take TWO different driving school and TWO different tests right?? or does it not matter?
Thanks

There is Drivers Ed for Manual and Auto, but the test is basically the same.

You don't need a license for manual. I did all my driver's ed in auto and did my test in auto, and I taught myself to drive manual.

Is there 1 extra testing case you have to pass with a manual? I remember that being the case, so I figured one more thing I could fail on... take the automatic test.

No matter how you get your license, learn how to drive a manual as soon as can. Like most things in life, it gets harder to learn the older you get.

If you are pretty good at driving auto already, take the lessons in manual so you can learn how without jerking around on your own or friends' car. Also good if you have no access to a manual car to learn (like me..i had to wait a a year and half before I had access to a manual car to learn on)

If you aren't great at manual, take the test in auto..no need to give yourself extra stress..you just want to pass the first time and save some money.

Thanks guys, I was thinking of doing that.

Once I pass and all I'll get my dad to teach me manual since hes been driving manual all his life in England.

in other countries, you have to take a special test to be able to drive manual...

I just taught myself after I got my licence.

yeah, definately take your test in an auto. You can get deductions for using the wrong gearing etc.

take everyones advice and do your course in a manual than take the test in an auto. if you do the course in automatic you get messed like me cause i don't have that much experience in a manual. well i am learning and I only have a problem with releasing the clutch way to fast.

Yah, its normal in Europe and Asia. But then again, kinda pointless since 90% of the people over there drive manual anyways.
hehe, I knew a friends 90 year old mother in England that still drives a 5 speed.

Really? I tell ya right now, she is probably the best driver in the world. It crazy in England, and since she prolly has over 65 years of driving she will school us all. haha if she ever came to Canada she would say "wtf, why are your roads so big, and why the fack is everyone driving so slow and with caution" :rofl:
Damn, I should goto England just for driving school lol:rofl:
