Gets easier after day 7 trust me
UK, early 20s, can and do drive manual.
The UK has a separate driving license for auto and manuals. If you pass your test with an automatic car, you get an automatic only license. If you pass eith a manual car you get a licence to drive both types, so most people decide to drive manual (although there is a slow increase of people getting auto only licenses). I prefer manual because they’re more fun to drive in my opinion.
We’re fine at finding our way home because we only have to navivate an effectively 2d space (as we are on the ground). Imagine if we had to fly and so had to navigate 3 directions (height as well) whilst being intoxicated. We’d be fucked… is what I think OP is trying to say.
Nothing matters 😔
