Mr. Crowe, I wish the USA would implements such rules on our drivers. Being a Farm boy I grew up driving manual transmissions all together. I don't own a vehicle with an Automatic Transmission. My pickup has a 5 speed and my RX8 has a 6 speed. Everyone should know how to start on an uphill slope with a car that has a clutch
And even the sports cars on the showroom foors have automatics now. Rather sad

Indeed.
I learned to drive "stick" on a Harley-Davidson many, many moons ago. Rolling backwards on a steep, steep hill.....and with traffic coming up on your rear tire is incentive to get it right the 1st time!
