Good one

I like this argument of manual vs auto , but please don't let it it lead to abuse and insults sirs.

I learned with manual drive so the first day I drove an automatic I was driving like James bond because I don't need to match clutch..
After that when my friend bought tokunbo Corolla I drove and I think ,it is high time I got to embrace one leg technology... but I will still buy manual car Sha
if I am to choose for my likeness : it will be auto

buygala:
Not likely


Accidents happen tho...I just pray that when or if it does, it won't be real bad

But I try my best Sir ...

At least I always resist the urge to tailgate, and I never exceed 20km in busy city roads, and I know my brakes as well as they know me

The reason it's an accident is because it's unplanned and usually as much as possible is done to prevent it...
Everything dey God hand

Last last, na God dey save person.... Paul Walker was a good driver..but na motor still kill am

He wasn't driving

Don't call yourself a driver untill you are conversant with manual drive. You are still amateur in driving.

You've never seen brand new SUVs worth 30m that are manually driven. Please reduce your ego.

How do you guys come to these conclusions biko. Until I can drive manual gear I'm still amateur in driving?

buygala:
PS

I won't advice anyone to learn how to drive how I did...know your limitations and act accordingly..


As for me, I have near perfect eyesight, and good limb coordination...what doctor's call "hand-eye coordination"...in my own case, my hand-foot-eye coordination is above average...I can draw a perfectly straight line without a ruler ..I suppose that helped me pick up driving as fast as I did...

Finally, never be overconfident...much as I learnt to drive quite fast, i am extremely careful on the wheels...

careful with 120km/hr how?

I bought my first car on a friday late last year...

Paid someone 2k to drive it home for me same day...

Paid my Barber 1k to teach me how to drive next day early in the morning....Nigga took me to a football field where he made me run circles in front and reverse mode...Nigga still drove me home...he said I still need more practice before I can enter road...he dey fear make I no go put am under trailer

Same afternoon, after eating a huge bowl of Eba, I damned the consequences and drove out into town on my own...Shit was very scary ..I had an 'L' on tho...so people went out of their way to avoid me......I drove around for about an hour, and arrived at home without incident...but I had noticed my flaws..

I couldn't drive in a straight line, I couldn't negotiate tight bends without almost going off road, and I had a serious problem with space management, and I had no idea on how to use side mirrors and the rear view mirrors

I bought data that night and watched a whole lot of YouTube driving videos on any and all manners of driving scenarios..

Next morning being Sunday, I went on another solo run..I was much better this time and even hit 120km/hr on an empty road...I am sure if I had an instructor, he won't have allowed me do that ..Who wan die

Same Sunday evening, I looked for the most congested part of town and put head there to test my ability to manage my car space and not run into other cars or pedestrians...I hit a keke
from behind who suddenly swerved into the road..People gathered, and when they saw my L sign, they blamed the Keke guy and told him to be careful of who he jumps in front of before Learner driver kill am one day ...The bash wasnt serious though as it just peeled a bit of paint on the Keke's bumper..my own car had no scratch as it was my plate number that came in contact with the Keke...So I just told the Keke rider sorry and proceeded on my way ...

Next day being Monday, I had work to do in a neighbouring state...after another binge of YouTube videos on highway driving, I decided to drive to and fro from that state...Journey was about 300km round trip...

I had read somewhere that learner drivers are not allowed on interstate roads...so by the next morning, I removed my L tags and commenced my journey...I maintained speeds below 70km/hr while going...I sha still managed to kill a baby goat that strayed into the middle of the road ...One Driver on a YouTube video I watched said never to try to dodge any animal or even human who suddenly jumps into your lane while on high speeds on an interstate highway...Na so I kill the damn goat without even breaking a stride

Myself and vehicle arrived destination in one piece aside that vehicle's front was stained a bit with the blood of that baby goat and there were a few minor nicks to the bumper's paint where I struck the goat...

Journey back to base was uneventful and I arrived safely...I managed to up my speeds to 120km/hr...I even overtook a 14-wheeler truck for the first time in my life ...

When I got home, I threw out my L sign within 4 days of getting it...my reasoning was that I won't push myself to quickly become a better driver if I had the 'L' on...That was how I started driving eveeywhere ...aside one occassion where I backed into a Police Man's car while leaving the car lot at the police headquarters in my state of residence, I didnt hit anything else..

Fast forward to Christmas time same year, after another binge of YouTube videos of extreme highway driving, I drove for about 900km from my state of residence to Lagos..got there same day I left ...aside a flat tyre at Owo, Ondo State, myself and my dearest Honda Accord 1994 model made it to Lagos without a scratch...I still drove back to Jos same December without event, before a nice lady bought the car off me on Oga Gazzuzz's recommendation...

I refused driving the car to the new owner's location to avoid stories that touch ...make e no come be say na on that particular journey I will now crash the vehicle learner style...So I paid a driver to deliver the vehicle..I accompanied him Sha ...I figured vehicle was no longer mine..so I would do well to keep my learner fingers off it

After the exit of my dearest Honda Academy who was patient with me all through my learning driving process, I am on my 2nd car after that...and driving has been a breeze for me ...I have never even scratched my bumper in the last 7 months...My fender was scratched once by a neighbour while trying to back out of our compound...aside that,my vehicles haven't had a single dent despite my driving every day and everywhere...I got my current car soometime in April this year,and I have already put 2000km on
it...As long as there is a road to where I am going to, I drive there

So if there's emergency and the only car available is a manual transmission this Mr I know it all will start speaking grammer that I wish it was an automatic drive whereas a manual expert handling an automatic transmission for the first time need no lecture to drive it

Guy forget that thing over 99.9% of cars that whites manufacture today is automatic transmission so where do you want to see manual transmission cars.? China and japan are no longer producing it again same as America, and these countries are the highest in manufacturing cars. so where else do you want to see manual transmission cars again. Less I forget do you know that by 2035 they'll stop producing all fuel combustion engine cars .

adubam:
Well said but the way he thinks those who rides manual like suffering baffles me. My current manual car can give me a good automatic but I love manual. Some like it because it keeps them in check from dosing off while driving. It's a matter of choice.

Every auto has manual input. ABI you don't you your hand to move the gear to drive and reverse in automatic? Or you don't use your leg to match break and accelerate in automatic transmission!

But we don't change gear from one checkpoint to another the way you manual driver's change it.
If there's a smooth way to France lol and I put the gear to D what will make me put it back to P is when I'm in Paris

Pele, sweet talker person wey dey use mouth drive no dey jam, them fit drive from Lagos to maiduguri in just 30minutes with reserve tank

U bought a car on friday, prior to not having any idea about driving.. then you successfully drove 300km interstate the next monday. How does that add up bro? u be magician? Na toy? Abi video game?

According to your story...An Amateur who learnt how to drive in just 2 days mostly with youtube video... couldn't drive on a straight line, couldn't negotiate tight bends without almost going off road, have serious problem with space management and had no idea on how to use mirrors... then all of a sudden, on sunday, he drove 120km/h alone.. then on monday, he drove a distance of 300km on a Nigerian highway with insane, impatient drivers and pot holes? Come on oga, u wont make some of the city driving not to talk of the highway.

If u make an attempt, your poor steering grip and maneuvering, Amateur braking skill, poor coordination and zero experience will lead u into the bush at the slightest confusion.

You wont only kill baby goat, You will crash on earth them go hear the sound in Mars and Jupiter my brother. I pray that won't be your portion.


I like your fantasy, but don't confuse or complicate issues for those who are learning out there and probably thinking of attempting what you put up here. It's a guaranteed crash with injury or even straight death.

If you have driven 900KM straight journey, then driving to your car buyer's destination will be a piece of cake..

Your mouth is sweet, if you continue this way, you will one day be in trouble. Trust me

Be mature and sincere henceforth bro. No offence intended. God bless u

Calm down..for you to be debating these facts, I can imagine how slow you guys are in your family ..

People have been known to learn how to acceptably fly single engined aircraft within days or even a week, much less an automatic vehicle... not everyone is a slow learner or has shitty limb-eye coordination like you


Whether you believe it or not, my learning curve on most things is quite sharp... besides I did the learning to drive with an automatic vehicle, which eleminates the need to learn clutching and manual gear-shifting in addition to the other stuff...I spent most of my childhood playing Need for Speed and Gran Turismo video games...So I can say I wasn't totally novice to driving...an adjustment here and there and I was good to go..

The way u dey go so,try marry person wey im brain sharp, make your kids for get small hope ..Because if your children slow like you, your progeny may likely end up being total imbeciles before the 3rd generation sef.....

You must have an IQ lesser than that of a lizard to think learning to drive an automatic sedan isn't something that can't be picked up in a few days (for someone with a functional brain and limbs, with small liver )...

And about driving the car to the buyer's place, I clearly stated I didn't want to leave anything to chance...Even Professional drivers get in accidents..If not, people like Jules Bianchi and Ayrton Senna would still be alive ....


I didn't make that drive because I had already collected a deposit on the car and so felt the need to keep my newbie hands off the vehicle, since it wasn't mine anymore ...

NuvioProcure:
careful with 120km/hr how?

120km/hr when I can...

Lesser when the road dictates I can't.

One can do 170km/hr and still be more careful than one doing 80km/hr


In case you don't know, there are roads where if you are doing less than 120km, you are a risk to yourself and other road users.

Just exactly as i imagined. I knew u were going to come out with an insult. I dont blame you bro. Just like i said earlier, i have met your kinds. They move around with just their mouths running. Check them out, they are not worth a penny.

Internet is easy, u say whatever u want and claim whatever u so wish. When u grow up, come back and read your post and see how much sense it makes.


Kids like you who attempted what you posted up there ends up either in the mogue or end up distroying other people's vehicle and properties.

I sold my old camry to an E-diot of the same like mind with yours, he came down, paid and crashed on the way to lagos with the car. I am sure he got his motivation from someone like you.

I said it, his fantasy was from his Need for speed game. The Blo.ody fo.ol is transferring same to the outside world.

For the sane ones out there, Don't get me twisted, there are fast learners who pick up driving skills at the shortest interval and yes there are people who learnt most driving skills and techniques online, but not just with killing baby goats.. they make mistakes, pull down buildings, fences and crashes into cars, more reasons why u need a professional's direction while learning... and NO, "2 day" car drivers don't drive 300km alone on highway or at 120km/hr. Its suicide.


The stup.i.dest thought anyone could ever think of is to feel "IT IS AN AUTOMATIC, U CAN EASILY GRASP THE DRIVING SKILL IN 2 DAYS AND DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY AT 300KM.. 120KM/H...... More reason we have ass.holes and bloody fo.ols driving around today. They claim to be professionals 2.

If them call driver now, this 2-Day self learning man.nerless do.nkey will raise his hands too . Na wah o.

every professional driver knows there is more to driving than an automatic/manual gear.

By the way u dont strike me like someone who has got intelligence whatsoever, rather u sound like a childish and restless stVpid young boy who has got a lot of fantasies running through his head.

and No.. u didn't make that journey, u are not that calm to do so. Your body too dey shake. U will only end up in the morgue if u do so. It's not for u.

U can go to hell anyway. I dont care bro.

Calm down. Alot of cars are still manufactured with manual transmission these days. Japanese cars like Honda civic and Toyota Corolla can still be gotten in manual. Same with alot of European cars. Even American cars like the Cadillac cts blackwing comes in manual.
