Haha funny and scary story. One of my friends was having a grad party today at 2 so i had no way to get there and he lives on the other side of the town, so i figured that i'd take my dad's van. I'm 17 but i dont have my license just my permit and im good at driving automatic, but anyways i couldnt find the van keys so i had to take the standard truck. I have no idea how to drive standard but i asked one of my friends before i started driving if it was easy to drive. I didn't tell my parents i was taking it and they were out of town so i took it down the street when i was stupid and forgot to lift the clutch with my right foot, so i almost hit a car but swerved and got into some ones yard. I eventually got back home but hit a fence, not bad just dented it in..its one of those plastic wired ones. But i had one of my friends come down and move it for me back to it's spot. Now i have a dented in fence across the street, its not bad just the pole is tilted a couple of inches and the fence is knocked in. How should i knocked it back to looking normal so my parents dont find out about it?

No thats not it, when you hit in the clutch you cant use the brakes, and i was hitting the brakes and it was doing shit so i swerved off the road.

You have to use the clutch at the same time as the brakes... if you use the brakes and the clutch isn't depressed, it should just stall.

You must be really good at driving to run into all that shit hahaha

when your neighbor asks about it, say it was some holligans from down the street, and that you came out and yelled at them and they ran away before you could tell who they were.....

good at driving an automatic = good at dodgems or go karts.

A standard truck is VERY different to an automatic. Any dumbass can drive an automatic. damn automatic cars piss me off.

Are you joking? You can and often use the brake while using the clutch, you dumbass. You don't have to (someone said if you don't brake it will stall) but to slow down, you can definetly brake while clutching.

You're a moron if you drove into a fence because you didn't brake while the clutch was engaged.

Not if you can't drive and find me. Ill just away from fences. Nice one though with that fence, the clutch, and the brakes.

Remember...gas = go. brakes = stop.
