I kept left foot braking and nearly puuting myself through the windscreen!!

Best tip is to tuck your left leg under your seat or there abouts

I've never tried to press the clutch or change gear in an auto, I think they go with my lazy nature

Every time i drive an auto i nearly go through the screen, never fail

Usually when i'm turning round outside the hire car place

Drove my mates fto tip-tronic and gave it beans and went for the clutch into a round about he wasn't impressed

Think it may be down to driving loads of different cars in my first 2 years of driving. You just get used to driving different cars so when you get in one you'v never drove, you can be used to it in seconds
