The only other time I got pulled over was for a U-turn at lights with no U-turn permitted sign... I actually didnt know about that law at the time.. .they let me off. I got nothing against police at all... if you dont do anything stupid they normally let you off... I never actually read the road rules specific to driving manuals. Should I read up or are there just some basic pointers I should keep in mind, because I want to go get my manual license. Something about chaging gears too late, or during a corner? It's not that easy in my Datto because if you try and make a turn in 3rd you havent got enough power, and if you change back to second before the turn you have to be doing about 30... so I guess I'll be corning either really fast or really slow for the test. I am also told that when you are stopped at lights etc you should be in first gear with the clutch in... I can do that.
