lol, I don't feel so bad. I did all the classics while I was learnin to drive; stopping the car and taking the key out w/o shifting to park was one. Another time, I had my boyfriend LIVID when I almost ran him over with the truck, which was stuck in mud and he was pulling it out with the tractor. It was actually funny, seeing him SO MAD while not being able to hear the obscenities he was slinging!
Then there's the whole backing-up thing; he could NOT figure out why I was doing so bad backin in the driveway. Then I realized; he was tellin me to turn right, and I mistook it for left. lol.
Yer friend should be able to get a license, if I did.
Do not EVER let me get into a standard-transmission car/truck. I almost took out a barn by accidentally starting one with a "rolling start"
