Yeah a clutch pedal and a 5 speed.

Driving Stick/Shift requires one pay attention and watch the Tachometer listen to the motor or ya Stall It.

Drivimg a stick thru city and stop lights cant play with ya phone because ya need both hands to drive a stick shift too..

Im sick of all the people playing on their phones not even watching traffic just weaving in and out.

Catch em at the "Red-Light" look down they got phone in their lap 

Truckers too..

Todays breed of TRUCK DRIVER got the cruise set 70mph feet on dash and a freaking computer screen bolted his dash watching a movie going down Interstate 94

If ya dont know how drive a stick its very easy once ya get the hang of it just be gentile letting out tat clutch once ya feel the grab let off.

As ya learn engine sounds and tachometer youll only need the clutch pedal starting off a "Dead Stop".

Youll just "Listen" eventually and Float the gears smooth and gentile without even looking no clutch just by sound youll know it time to shift too

Now on a "Down-Shift" yq wanna give her a little gas 1st run rpms up then just slide her in smooth

Another thingy about Stick-Shift is "Engine-Braking" effect.

Ya use the gears Slow ya down instead of burning ya brake pads..

Now ya can "Engine Brake" with an Automatic but aint good for them & today most very Computer Sensor Controlled as well too
 
 
 

Wear your Glasses too


Back in 2017/2018 I failed the eye test part of physical.

Unbeknownst to the grain elevator my CDL was cancelled that day failing the eye test at clinic forwarded that to the DMV despite having 3 months on my "current" medical card that time.

Took me 2 months make appointment get my glasses made and go back whole entire physical with eye test "Passed" now.

Meantime I was running Railyards and Joliet Illinois Elevators my CDL was "Cancelled" until I passed that Eye Test.

Then Mary in the office always hadda little "Crush" on her & we talk to eachother.

She said I wanna see ya in your Glasses I said they in the truck in a case on the dash if a cop stops me Ill throw em on okay.

Afew years later I went back over the road it was Dark as heck no moon that night 90 across Minnesota/South Dakota.

I put those glasses on and wow I could see better too.

Today I aint ashamed wear my glasses and I so see better wearing them than without em

Is it so freaking hard perhaps "Unreasonable" to ask when driving a Motor Vehicle on a Public Highway that ya turn the phone off , be watching ahead & antcipating traffic.

Also watching your mirrors see whats coming up behind ya too..

Nope today cars are made with an "Info-Tainment" Center a screen in dash.

Auto braking and computer sensor controled steering provides more "Complacency" I can just watch movies or play with my phone instead of watching THE ROAD
