I was driving home on highway this evening and for the first time I encountered a heavy traffic and I think there was a major accident. Anyway, traffic was moving slowly about 3 to 5 miles per hour (I used 1st gear) and a lot of time stop and go. I never practiced hill start, but today at one point car stalled on higher elevation (overpass) and after starting the car I couldn't move the car and started going backward and luckily the driver from behind honked so badly I could stop the car otherwise I would have hit him just about 1 feet gap. Again, I had to stop, but this time I used E-Brake and I could move the car more easily. I saw the driver behind me left me a lot of space. Thank God nothing happened and it took an hour to reach home rather than 15 minutes.
I guess manual/stick cars need more practice everyday. Geez, when will I be a pro?
