Getting my driving license.

[xcoder]

I drive an automatic transmission car, and i will certainly get a manual transmission one later.

The difference is that you choose when to change gear and control the car performance in manual which is not the case in automatic.

Automatic is alwaysss better for traffic jam and long trips.
Automatic is more fuel consuming and it ****s up more often.

Don't get a french automatic transmission car like i did!

However, why are you worried about all that? the Lebanese driving test is a joke, it's a play, no more no less.

You have to choose between the better and the easier.

Most of the people nowadays stick to automatic because they consider it less "labaké" and way easier.

But others perceive the manual cars as more powerful and you can have more control on them, which is so true, generally manual transmission cars don't get damaged (engine and vitesse) as often as the automatic ones.

I'm not taking it Lebanon. Where I live, there is a manual license and an automatic license. So I have to choose what kind of car I want to drive before doing the test.

I've tried both types, even though I did get the hang of the manual, there was just too much going on at the same time. I found the automatic much easier. So I guess I'm going to go with the automatic.

Yeah same here in the UAE, there is a test for every type of cars either manual or automatique.

But if you go for the manual you can drive an automatique car right?

Yeah, but it's way more difficult. Even more difficult now since they've got the whole "Drive Green" thing going on, if you don't drive environmentally friendly you'll have to take the whole test again.

Once You Get Used To Driving Manual, You'll Be Able To Think About Stuff While Doing It... :/
