I`ve had about 30 lessons and I can`t get the hang of it. My last instructor told me I didn`t have a technical mind. True. 

I`m courteous on my bike though. 
Scotty.

Learn in an automatic - I did cos I could not get the hang of gears at all.
I promise you will find it easy and far less stressful cos all you have to worry about is the road and other drivers, not  what everyone else is doing...

Thanks for the advice Issy  
It`s not so much the gears with me, it`s the fear of the road and other drivers. I don`t think I`ll ever be able to handle it. On busy motorways, with all the overtaking etc.. I`m the worst back seat driver in the whole wide world.

I'm EXACTLY the same as Scotty ................I took a test in an automatic (my own car) and still failed.

I've had two tests over the years but like Scotty I'm far too nervous a driver - I also lack any kind of spatial awareness and am the worse backstreet driver in the world.

I can barely tell one car from another.
I can spot a 3-wheeler and a hearse. Other than that they are all cars to me.
But I do treat some drivers differently - those who use a mobile phone while driving!
Amazingly some people still drive on the roads while using a phone.

By the time I have spotted them, they have usually disappeared, but when I realise what they are doing I tend to utter expletives, wave my arms, make telephone gestures and jump up and down.

So many jokes, so little time.
