Welcome. You'll forgive me if I'm a little skeptical about your post. Assuming you're somewhere between 16 and 18 years old, at some point, you must have ridden along with an adult competently driving a manual.

Listen to your gut. I think we've established this to be a bit of a ridiculous question.
