    Yes, they are. And they are also entitled to learn how to drive, buy a car and just get on the road in general, in whatever manner suits them best, without being abused, derided or belittled for their choices. Am not accusing you of doing that, but there is definitely an anti automatic snobbery here in Ireland, that comes across from a lot of posts here.

    People should feel free to offer up their own personal opinions and experiences on doing things, but when people cross over that line, it just bugs me. There is more than one way to skin a cat, as my dear, departed mother used to say. Or 250 million Americans can't all be wrong, as I like to say. :)

    Just to let everyone know....

    After a few months for not driving (a combination of bad weather, no-one being available to drive with and part-time studying), I went out with my family members. I offered to drive my Mom into work for her and practiced with my Father for a hour one afternoon and then again the following week.


    I then also took an hour with an instructor in his car. All of this was in manual so I put myself back on the horse so to speak.


    It actually really wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

    The instructor told me that I can drive. I just need to fine tune everything, especially my observations and then gave me advice on when and where to look out for certain things.


    So I'm actually going to stick with manual.
