Yeah it's definitely a different kettle of fish when you're on a hill in traffic and swapping to the handbrake constantly, I think that's where newbies really struggle.

I've only been driving since 2012 so I wouldn't call myself a veteran since I know a few delivery drivers and the difference in experience is unreal lol

That's probably around when I got behind the wheel of my first standard, and I've driven a MT car as my main, daily driver, ever since. And I drive most days for at least 30 minutes a day any day I drive.

You're probably better than you give yourself credit for. By no means am I a perfect MT driver, but I can definitely drive manual very adequately, at least as well as I can drive an AT vehicle, which is what I learned on in the mid 2000's. I had the benefit of 5+ years of driving before I started with a MT vehicle, then drove nothing but manual for over 10 years.

15 years of driving + 10 of that being on a manual, means I'm very much not new at it.
