Rickochet Yep. I had to take my drivers license test in 1965 in a 1960 Chevy station wagon that must have been 40' long and did not have power steering. Parallel parking was a challenge.
I took mine in a 1960 Ford Galaxy 4-door sedan that also seemed that long...! Back in the 'good old days!'
I took mine in a Chevy sprint 3cyl econo car... I learn to drive in a Chevy suburban, and yes I could parallel park that thing. If need be, I can parallel park the truck and trailer, I don't like having to do that though...
Hahahaha, It was a standard transmission however. That said, I have only owned 1 automatic transmission vehicle.
meagain Took my driver test in a 1962 Austin Healey Sprite...
My drivers test was in a 1961 Mercury. Not exactly a small car either.

My 67 year old wife has to drive the Corvettes that they pick up for service because no one there has any experience driving a standard transmission!
meagain You just reminded me that I need to teach my son before he goes off to college. Not that I think it will be an important skill moving forward, but just something he can have that few others will these days. Hard to believe mechanics don't learn how to drive a manual transmission.

johnnydoom Plus they probably don't want them learning on a $60,000 Corvette. And yes she has gotten on one a time or two.

Seeing as how most "driving schools" don't seem to bother teaching students how to merge and parallel park, I am not surprised at all that they don't tech how to drive with a manual transmission.
