Funny that this topic came up

My daughter now living in England, has to give up her US license within one
year. The driving test over there is with a stick shift which we never taught her since her Saabs during college were automatic. She has no difficulty driving on the wrong side of the road so she can just concentrate on the stick. My first time in the UK with a rental I had a 5 speed of which I used
the first four gears since I couldn"t find fifth. The same trip I held up
traffic for 5 minutes after making a wrong turn because I had no idea where
reverse was-I pushed the shift and pulled the shift-really impressed my wife.
