Learn where the brake is. It's a very important pedal.

Everyone uses a stick here in the UK (well most of us anyway). If you can learn to drive in a manual then you'll a more versatile driver later. :wink:

All you need to remember....is learn where the 'biting point' is and you'll be fine on the gear changes. Manuals are soooooo much better. IMHO. :D

Practice does make perfect.
