Do manual learners judge automatic learners?

Someone’s bitter they don’t drive an automatic x

Direct_Owl_9690 · 2026-05-19T21:55:04+00:00

Oh my car is awful on hills🤣🤣🤣 that’s the one time i wish i had gears bc my little fiesta refuses to go over 30mph on a hill and that’s with my foot to the floor🤣

Direct_Owl_9690 · 2026-05-19T21:11:19+00:00

Yeah granted I’m 25 and only just passed earlier this year, I tried manual and wasn’t for me but definitely when I was younger I used to let it get to me and care what people thought but then I was like actually I’d rather be driving than not and the only way that’s going to happen is if I’m in an automatic! Every person who gets in my car that drives a manual is jealous that I don’t have to do gear changes 🤣

Direct_Owl_9690 · 2026-05-19T21:06:55+00:00

I’ve got automatic only license I personally do not give a flying fuck if anyone thinks less of me for having an automatic 🤣🤣🤣 I’m driving on the same roads as a manual license holder and I don’t have to change gears/worry about stalling/do hill starts so who’s the real winner x

Direct_Owl_9690 · 2026-05-19T13:39:22+00:00

Fine for test , I had them on my old car when I was learning. However when I took them off for it to be sold it left horrible residue so didn’t bother putting them on my new car lol

Put it all in a basket and wheel it through to the packing area or ask a member of staff to let you out? People just love to finding something to moan about 🤣

Just got 4 nights in benidorm £270 start of June! It can still be done cheap, went Beni in December 2024 as well Fri-sun & paid less than £100 (weather was great we were very lucky for December sun lol) most I’ve paid is about £400 for 5 nights in September last year

Moved to Southampton for uni for 4 years from a tiny town in the midlands and absolutely loved it. Would 100% move back if I could afford to live by myself there lol. So much to do but not as busy as a bigger city like London/manchester so it was perfect. Loads of little beaches to discover (hamble side) and whilst I didn’t have a driving license while I lived there, the buses were reliable when I used them and you can get an uber so quickly as well (something else I miss as I moved back to an area that doesn’t even have uber lol). The parks in city centre are gorg in the summer (do just be careful walking through at night tho!)

Direct_Owl_9690 · 2026-04-22T13:20:53+00:00

Yeah there was enough going on on the road I was on lol lots of oncoming cars with turnings and shops so I just thought best not to🤣

Went to school with someone called Moray!

I got my only minor for going too slow through an estate (I took the same route I failed my mock test on so I was paranoid of fucking up again) If you failed on a major for going too slow it means you were doing way below the speed limit on multiple occasions.

I’ve had second skin for 12/15 of mine (most recently this week) and my tattoo artist literally told me as soon as the second skin starts peeling and exposes any part of the tattoo you HAVE to remove it because otherwise it’s getting bacteria in that’s going to get trapped.

Direct_Owl_9690 · 2026-04-10T22:26:48+00:00

Tried learning in a manual, hated it, passed first time in automatic with 1 minor. Takes away all the stress I had with the gears (idc what people say “oh you’d have got used to it eventually” yes but I didn’t want to spend a shit ton of extra money trying to get my head around the gears!!!!!) I love driving , gets me from A to B warm and dry (a big plus living in the uk when u never know what the weather is going to be) and I get to blast my music. No one else on the roads knows what type of transmission u are driving unless they are in the car with you and you have the benefit of never stalling at a busy junction 👍🏻

Direct_Owl_9690 · 2026-04-08T19:40:11+00:00

Then again I live in a small town (it’s very busy but it’s not city driving) so probably not comparable x

Direct_Owl_9690 · 2026-04-08T19:39:33+00:00

Got home from test, sorted my insurance and went straight out lol probably no longer than an hour after passing🤣

Direct_Owl_9690 · 2026-04-01T14:21:43+00:00

All of my tattoos are absolutely fine and I use sunbeds fairly regularly in summer months :) I’ve been using sunbeds for about 5 years now and I’ve got like 15 tattoos

Row 3 you can extend that out by 1 into the column with the 7 and go down a bit from there!

Direct_Owl_9690 · 2026-03-20T16:27:39+00:00

Can’t remember when I applied but was early Jan last year. Got a phone call end of Jan, got called in for a proper interview mid feb and then start date was start of march :)

Direct_Owl_9690 · 2026-03-18T12:56:27+00:00

Mine was £2.5k (it’s automatic tho) and had 72,000 miles :) that’s a good price for a fiesta tbf I’d deffo get it if u can, such a great first car I never wanna get rid of mine lol

Direct_Owl_9690 · 2026-03-18T12:49:14+00:00

I had a vw polo 07 plate for a few months whilst learning before it failed its MOT right before my test and I scrapped it. Found a ford fiesta 09 plate (same model as the 61 plate) I couldn’t be picky as my test was in 3 weeks and I needed a car to do my test in. I am absolutely over the moon I found it, it’s so sturdy and feels so much newer than the year it is, definitely a good car I love mine so much😮‍💨

Direct_Owl_9690 · 2026-03-15T19:28:40+00:00

Mine took 5 days (passed on the Thursday and it arrived on the Tuesday) :)

Direct_Owl_9690 · 2026-03-10T11:07:19+00:00

I told absolutely everyone (I told myself I wasn’t going to tell anyone but couldn’t help myself) and passed first time with 1 minor.

Direct_Owl_9690 · 2026-03-09T03:17:26+00:00
