Who invented the clutch anyway??

by - July 22, 2008

Who knew that driving could be so easy and difficult all at the same time? I love steering and the speed, but when your just a beginner, everything goes pretty slow.


So, I've already consumed 7 hours out of my 15 hours of driving lessons. I drove from Pasay to Paranaque today and my, my, my it is not at all easy. Our car is a Toyota Innova automatic and the car that A1 provided me is the same only it's manual in function. With that I have to gather all my coordinations together like, eye, feet and hand coordination all at the same. My dilemma right now and I know for sure, my instructor is getting quite tired of it, is the clutch and the gear shift. It's not that easy, I made the car tilt three times in the middle of the road, goodness me. Nevertheless, I am not going to quit. I am going to learn that stick shift if it's the last thing I do!

Can, I also share how much I dislike running the car on the road at only 20 KPH?? and at gear one, but I have to follow my instructor because he's the boss, but doesn't he realize whenever I over do the gas that I have a need for speed!?! hahaha. Kaskasera raw. Well, he did let me go at 40 KPH today and at gear 3. That made me a tad happy. I hope next time he lets me do that more.

I can't wait to get my Non-professional license next month. Hopefully, I do well on my exam at LTO. And of course I can't wait to take out our car and I am so thankful by then I no longer have to bear with a stick with many gears and most especially a CLUTCH! because an automatic car does not include one. Weeeee. That's one function, I am sure to forget every time I step in the car. Thank you to the people who invented automatic. Too much stress having a manual to drive. Hay,hay,hay. I admire all the expert lady drivers out there who can over take buses and trucks. I salute you all!

Anyhoo, that's all for now. All that driving has made me tired. Good night, everyone. Sleep tight!

  3. All cars have clutches so they can change gears to make your everyday car go faster. =))

    What Automatic cars don't have is a clutch PEDAL. =P But anyway, I hope you get the hand of it. It's worth it.
