I went to driving school today and meant with the guys there. I told them I want to learn manual. Even when some of them was telling me manual is fading out that majority of people are preferring to learn auto and they said some people who learn manual also came back to learn auto.

My reason was that if I can learn manual I can learn automatic, because I have heard that from people, I choose 5 days learning and they said 30minus & 1 hour has different prices, but I choose the 5 days 30 minutes, although I bargain the price. I filled the form and the driving session started.

Few minutes that we started I already giving up, I feel like not learning again. My concentration was not even there it was tidius to remember all this I need to do. Because I was forgetting all the things the guy told me before we started.

Here are my problem.
1. Understanding the pendel. Little press the car if jecking. When I applied brake it stop sudden and the vehicle will off abruptly.
2. Losing focus and what to do when I'm tens specially when I am approaching junction or a big car.
3. I am more concerned with the cars at my back or around me because I was moving slowly. The guy keep telling me to forget about them and focus on my side. Is document I filled said I will be the one to pay for damages incurred during the session.
3, knowing how and when to change the gear. I haven't mastered it and I feel it's too hard with the calculations. When I was filling the form there was some disclaimer on the document that I will be held responsible for any damages. I also learnt that the break is sometimes press. It was then I understand that the guy can press the brake from his own side of the car. Although I didn't tell him but I know.

Handling the wheel. To make a turn accurately on the road or control the wheel is really off.

Look like driving is really hard with manual


I was saving and planing to buy a Nigeria use car and I was focusing on manual because I heard people saying it easy to maintain but right now with the look of things I don't think I can buy manual again oh.

The two things I thought today while on the wheel is to buy auto and a small car.

Tomorrow I will go there again to learn and keep this thread updated.

Hello!... Do not give up on learning manual please.

A manual car is very difficult than an automatic car.My first driving lesson was a manual car.I find it easy to drive an automatic car afterwards.
The thing is,you also need your own car to facilitate you to be perfect in driving.After you have finish your driving lessons,if you don't have a car to drive after sometime,you may find it hard to drive when you handle a steering.

Mr man....you were told a lot about manual...you tot it will be easy as ABC but ur brain keep forgetting things hence you unable to learn it.

Stick or learn with automatic...because cars that are being import into the country are automatic and in the next 3 to 5 years I doubt if you will see manual car expect you wan drive truck or dangote trailer.

Not everyone can drive, same way not everyone can be a surgeon or jet pilot

Driving properly requires quite some amount of natural spatial awareness and limb-eye coordination..

Some people are born without these abilities sadly.. Na why even if they force themselves to drive, they might end up killing themselves and others or still be doing shaky-shaky Daddy even after 25 years of driving


Know your ability... If you try am and e no do, leave am.. When you have a car, employ a driver.

Nigerians still dey go driving school
Just carry your relatives or friends motor enter road you don sabi

Na when you travel out you go come realise say you nor sabi drive at all
Especially for Arab countries nd Middle East


Even Americans way sabi drive still dey fail driving test once them reach Middle east

Driving is very simple to learn

Don’t give up we pray that your driving will be better than your grammar

Thats good, learning a skill is always good, especially a basic one like driving

.

I learnt with manual... Mercedes 230E to be precise. Was taught by my cousin.

Didn't drive it for more up to a year before switching to a Toyota automatic.

I can assure you that I've forgotten how to drive a manual car at the moment.

There might be some advantages, but really, manual cars are dying a really sped up death in the country.

I see no reason why you or anyone should drive a manual transmission car, apart from trucks and lorries and all.

After my first stint with the Mercedes, I've gone on to drive 8 other cars and all of them have been automatic.

Anyway sha, vote Peter Obi of Labour Party to ensure that money comes in to your pocket so you can buy a bigger and better ride.

If you can learn how to ride a motorcycle, a motorcycle that has clutch, it will help you a lot. Motor will be easier.

I

Don't give up

Just focus on the task

Know that practice makes perfect

You will be very glad you learnt manual before auto cos once you learn manual you have automatically leant auto.

Good luck 👍🏼

All you need is to conquer your fears. That's the first step to driving.

I hope they gave you the driving manual to read before classes. It really helps. I will advice you to tilt towards automatic. It is easier and faster to learn. I don't think I will ever drive manual again. Na real work. 🤣🤣

Abeg don't come and kill yourself.

Hahahah

Manual transmission cars dont have any future in our world. The instructor gave you a good advice; learn automatic, but strong head and over sabi will not let you follow it. Go and continue learning your manual.

Manual car in this 21st century?

When your friends driving automatic have driven pass you, you go still dey switch gear....

It is drifting traffic you will know that automatic is better than manual car...

I no dey even near manual, though they are good to maintain and hardly develop faults, but automatic as taken over.

Learn auto... Then you can learn manual. If you are male, riding bike would give you an idea of manual.

The trainer overloaded you with too much information. Na small small and lots of practice + confidence.

Who even drives a manual car in the present time. Oga go buy auto car drive.

AutoManual, first relax...it's the same d first time for 90% of the people.




Don't give up, learn d manual

I learnt how to drive myself when i got my first car.. Driving is simple as abc.. Just give it time you'll catch up

U haven’t even started. When u drive manual car on a hill with much traffic…. U go know how fa

Lol, My dad be telling me same thing "learn manual son, auto was originally made for disabled people".

I sha enrolled in driving school auto and manual full course. I drove a real car ( manual ) for the first time in my life, it was stressful. You had to mentally monitor the engine sound in order to change gear, no clutch pedal - no party, if you take your leg off the clutch too soon, car will stall, if you step on the brakes without stepping on clutch, car will stall.

The werey instructor did not tell inform me that he can brake the car from his end. He'll just tell me "clutch down", and when I do, car will slowly stop.

The traffic light goes ⛔. I was at the front row. Immediately the light went 🟢, I hurriedly took my legs of the clutch pedal so that I can accelerate. Kpaka kpaka! Car stalled, I understood what 'being under pressure' means when about 20 cars behind me went smashing their horns.

Five days went by, I still cannot make a proper turn. It's either I turn too fast or too slow or steer too hard. I thought I was braindead, I can never know how to drive. I told the guy I wanted to drive auto..

Seatbelts, check! mirrors, check!, Ignite the car and off I drove. AUTO WAS TOOO EASY. There and then I vowed not to consciously touch a manual car again. My confidence shot up. I started feeling like some low-budget Vin Diesel.

I graduated, collected my permit. A week after I finished my training, I traveled to greet my Aunt in another state. Myself and Aunt (never knew I enrolled in driving school) went to get stuff in the Market. When we were done buying, she went:

Aunt: "I'm tired, wish you knew how to drive now, shey I'll just be resting"

Me: *hold my beer* , Opened Google Maps.

...and the rest they say is history.

So you hope to learn how to drive through a 5 days 30 mins per day driving session, continue to dey play.

Just know that driving is a high risk activity that can lead to deaths through accidents, better allocate enough time for your driving training.

You have even tried, at least you enrolled in a driving school, ever since the government decided to use issuance of driving license as a money making venture, many people get their driving license before learning how to drive.
