age and tranmission
-
hey people just curious now take learing driving must at least 21 or 18 and one more question, if i learn manual tranmission can i drive auto tranmission car?
-
If you took your driving test using a manual car, you can drive vehicles with automatic as well as manual transmissions.
However, if your licence is CLass 3 (Auto), you are not allowed to drive manual cars. This may pose a few problems. -
yes class 3 can drive both auto and manual...but class 3A can only drive auto.Originally posted by toyota-corolla:if i learn manual tranmission can i drive auto tranmission car?

to put it simply...that's driving without a valid licence...means no 3rd party insurance and etc...Originally posted by iveco:This may pose a few problems. -
thanks peep! but i wondering is it easy to handle a manual car? cause i recently drove a manual car and the engine kept die off
-
Because you had poor control over the clutch. Hence the engine kept stalling.Originally posted by toyota-corolla:thanks peep! but i wondering is it easy to handle a manual car? cause i recently drove a manual car and the engine kept die off -
oh.. hmmm but when you people know is time to hit the gas, cause i know if release to early, the engine will die off and if i release very slow, the engine will give a loud rpm plus the car will not move.

hi. i am currently learning to drive. 17 march's tp test. taking Class 3.
dun worry abt the manual car. as the saying goes, practice makes perfect. my first two lessons were crappy. kept stalling abt 6-8 times in that 100mins session.
now even, i still do stall. only abt once a session. inevitable lah. once i was so forgetful. stopping at traffic light. so good, use engine brake and all. suddenly come to a stop forgot to kick in clutch!!
but yes, driving is fun. if you're still young, you would rather drive a manual car coz' u can choose what gear you wanna be at. i just hate slopes.
and as a manual learner driver, if you're a sch student, you have to book one autocar enhancement training lesson. very easy one. did mine on 16/02. auto quite boring. -
yup. still does happen to me frm time to time. before u start driving, do some clutch exercises. in neutral gear, kick in and out ard 10 times and feel where's the biting point.Originally posted by toyota-corolla:oh.. hmmm but when you people know is time to hit the gas, cause i know if release to early, the engine will die off and if i release very slow, the engine will give a loud rpm plus the car will not move. -
well, thanks for the advice, i started driving when i was 12 and now already 15, have pass the following test which was set by my parents as my dad got a blank test sheet from my dad friend.
i have pass:
Parallel parking
Horizontal parking
U-turn
Overtaking
Speed control
And all sort of nonsense
if i learn manual now, goodness, i will be having hard time learning parallel parking, horizontal parking and speed control(i guess?). oh well, my first attempt for driving manual the engine die off about 6-7 times -
So this means driving a public bus is boring since it is using a Voith transmission?Originally posted by sinicker:and as a manual learner driver, if you're a sch student, you have to book one autocar enhancement training lesson. very easy one. did mine on 16/02. auto quite boring.
Frankly, I like the idea of changing gears using buttons. -
speed controll......
-
for my view, they are really interesting.
-

yes, speed control must be good.

i get old instructor, S course i do very fast and nvr strike/mount kerb, he jam brake and say "u got no speed control."

-

-
hmmm by the way, if engine kept die off, is the life of the engine shorten? or the engine will spoil easily?
-
