I just out my name on the list and after 10 years, I feel like I will get a call. I am worried about the test though. No one that I know has a manual car that I can practice on. I heard they already expect you to know how to drive one. What do I do? I called the drivers ed in my county and they said they would teach me but I have to provide the car that is manual? Any ideas?
To Drivers-Where do I learn to drive a manual before road test?!!

Are there any manuals on your center or hub's lot that a sup will let you practice on?
I called a car place to rent one in town and they said they did not have manuals? Maybe I need to try others?
I don't think any of them have rent-a-racers any more.

You just need to ask. Tell them you want to learn. I learned manual transmission on my first car.

Oh Yeah
All i am going to say is, not directing it to anyone in particular, but if a guy cant drive a stick, THATS JUST PATHETIC. I put that 1 in the same category as a dude who cant catch a baseball, shoot a basketball or throw a football. KILLING THE MANHOOD MAN lmfao.I'll never understand why you guys wait years and never once think to learn standard BEFORE your time comes up.
Call driving schools, watch YouTube videos and pray

I should probably test drive it first to make sure the ride is smooth

Check for car rentals near an Airport. Theres a chance for some manual transmission cars. Tourists from out of the country prefer manuals.

Rest in peace wooba
im almost positive my center manager said that they were changing the road test to an automatic. or might have already changed? i don't think there is but a very few manuals left in my building

It's actually not that unusual nowadays. Anyone 30 or younger probably hasn't had to drive a stick. Personally I think it is unsafe as
. They want all our attention on driving and 2 hands on the wheel. There is no reason ups shouldn't be 100% automatics. Except they are greedy tightwads. If their main focus was safety we would all be driving autosEdit: basketball and football is a sign of city boy manhood. Around here being able to gut and skin a deer or any other animal, whilst chewing a dip is real manhood.

Road test can be automatic but when they send them guys to integrad they better be able to drive a stick.

Our division has eliminated the standard transmission requirement.
