Teaching a teen to drive a stick shift...

[Nodak]

I learned to drive in a manual trans car. In ND at the time one could get a license at the age of 14. I had grown up watching my parents drive a manual and had no problems learning to drive one. As soon as I had a license my parents pretty much stopped driving if I was in the car. I had my license for about two months when I found myself driving through Winnipeg; I had assumed when we got close to the city my dad would take over. They just said "keep going".
