I have taught/will teach all my children to drive a stick shift

I bought a 2008 Hyundai accent for my kids to use as a high school commuter car. I wanted them to truly appreciate what manual really means. Manual window openers, manual locks, manually adjusted climate control, manually adjusted seats, manually operated hatchback and manual transmission.

POLL: Can you drive a stick shift?

Penske Material Don't worry about it

Or you could ask: Do you know how to drive at all?

I've only done it twice in my life. When I was like 16 (on actual roads)

That's where I learned. In a rental car in the UK. Do not recommend.

Great way to have your teens avoid picking up their phones while driving.

I worry some will still do it and then have their attention split even further.
