She had no hope CDV or not. Glad she didnt plow into the building.

Too big of an audience for anyone to actually pay attention and learn. She was too embarrassed to perform....plus her hair seemed to be a distraction,lol.

I taught my wife to drive stick in my M...around a big parking lot. She didn't stall once.

This chick kept saying, I don't like this. Then GTFO!

That guy is the worst instructor I've seen in a while.

First thing I'd do is get her to sit in the passenger seat and watch very carefully how I work the clutch in relation to the revs.
Showing her which gears are where and the motion of shifting is important before the car is even started, I can see he didn't do much of that either.

Timing the clutch release is also quite important. I've always taught people to count down when releasing the clutch.
I start on 5 (lets say) and by one they should have it fully released. I get them to try that with the car off or at least in neutral so I can watch what they do.
After a few tries they should have it. When doing this I count down for them always while in the passenger seat. Then she should be ready to take off. There are a few things to watch out for too, such as the E brake not being engaged.... I can see he forgot about that as well.

Given her "instructions" I was waiting for a serious accident to happen, thankfully it didnt.

Yeah, she's pretty cute. Nice smile. Good thing she didn't smash up the car.

My wife drives stick. In fact, she's the one who taught me how to drive stick. I have no problem letting my wife drive my car around.

"When I was driving, it had a number 2"

Also, does it bug everyone else when people reach underhand into the top of the steering wheel to turn?

My wife couldn't physically get the gear into reverse without pulling with both hands. I don't see her being able to either. LOL

She was driving ....sorry only noticed her....I guess it was the cute smile and strawberry blond hair

The instructor should have been in the car with her.... I loved the part where he panicked and ran after her telling her to hit the brake!

Yes! The underhand chick turn always amazes me. How does that feel natural...? Bad enough when it's a girl but when a guy does it, I just shake my head.

Personally I couldn't care less how others drive as long as they don't crash into my car.
