Way back in the 60's I was teaching my girlfriend to drive a standard shift (we were in our teens) and we were out in the country. It was a Morris Minor.She started doing this lurching thing with the gas and the clutch while we were both getting whiplash. Next we hit a pothole at the same time. After that was over I took over and drove back to school and the right front wheel collapsed. Apparently the stub axle broke.
We held up traffic for a long time till the Morris was towed away. Teaching somebody to drive is tough. Stickshift is tougher
