And where are you from? And how old? Not "do you" but just if you know how.

I'm in the US, mid 30s and can (and do) drive a manual transmission.

Why would it be difficult? Children can play complex video games and handle the controllers perfectly - why should a manual stick be too complex for teenagers?

Because you have to both learn how to move your car among complex traffic and learn how to operate the clutch pedal and the shift.

That's why you learn how to operate clutch and shifting in areas where there isn't much traffic - at least that was the case for me
