Drove clutch vehicles most of my life. First time I tooled around in an automatic, I almost killed myself. Approached an intersection and attempted to push the clutch in to down shift and of course the clutch was now the brake. LOL! Glade there was nobody behind me. ;-)

Guess you would be old like me! 3 on the column. My dad took me out for my first lesson. It was cold, windy and raining. Stopped the car in the middle of a very steep hill, turned it off and got out. Said when I learned to get it to the top of the hill without it rolling backward or burning rubber three times in a row, I can drive it anytime I wanted. It was a very long day but I finally did it.
