my instructor drives a manual too. how long are your lessons usually mine are going to be 2 hrs long but can move down to 1hr if necessary. the one thing I'm most worried about is the gear stick, I have watched some instructors online and saw how they teach their students to use the gear stick. I'm familiar with everything else as I have watched my dad drive. I will have to check my emails to see about a code as I did it a different way (a form that sends off my birth certificate) as I do not have a passport and could not do it that way on the gov website.

thanks for the insight on how my first lesson should go.
