1. Get some sleep, you don't want to be tired driving!:)

2. Keep your left foot away from the pedals! Use your right foot to control both of the pedals. For a driver of manual cars, I have often slammed the brakes subconsciously believing it was the clutch and nearly sending everybody through the windscreen.

3. Enjoy
