Hi. I'm 22 weeks pregnant, and I had to get a bigger car, as my old one wouldn't fit 3 car seats in the back. So I got a Hyundai tucson, and I can't drive it! I've been driving manual cars for 11, nearly 12 years. I've driven different makes and models, and I've even driven a van, and I've had no problems before. However, I just can't seem to get my head around the gears of this car. It's not the clutch, it's the gears. I can't seem to get it in gear. I feel like I'm learning to drive all over again! My mother-in-law says it's really easy to drive, and she doesn't know why I'm struggling soo much. I feel really thick, and stupid. Everytime I've tried to drive it, I can't get 2 seconds down the road, before I'm pulling over and crying. The indicators and wipers are also the wrong way around, and I know I'd get used to that, but at the moment, it's the gears. I'm loosing confidence in my ability to drive. I hate getting into the car. Can anyone help me please? Please don't say I just need to practice, as I have been, and I'm not improving any. I'm feeling really down about this, so please be nice xx
