    Thanks for sharing this with us @Ruth23. Is there anything in particular that's stopping you from doing it at the moment?

    Hi @Ruth23
    Do you want to explain a little more?

    If you want too, I don't see why not? Why do you ask as your question is a little vague.

    Hello,

    Why not go for it! :) is there something in particular that's holding you back from doing this kind of thing? 

    I was learning before lock down and I found that it was very tricky combining everything all together, I am actually considering having thought about it learning in an automatic car first of all and then once I am happy and confident on the road, I will learn the gears separately, as I was struggling with the coordination of it all.

    I am learning to drive. It's taken ages, but I'm near my test.

    I'm not the most natural driver @fairybellsxo and I definitely struggled with coordinating all the little bits when learning. I thought for a long time about only driving automatics and ultimately chose not to, but I think you've got to do what you think will work for you. Have you started your lessons again yet?

    Fingers crossed @Awesomelorenzo!
