I done a poll in one of my classes yesterday just for the heck of it. I’ve done these in the past with these questions. The first one was how many drive a car with a manual trans? Out of about 15 students who are 15-19 year old boys two raised their hands. Then I asked who can actually drive a manual? About half raised their hands. That’s the highest % I’ve ever had. Usually it’s lower. You do have to take in consideration the source. Some times it’s hard to get a straight answer from these kids. One year I had a dune buggy we were working on and I asked a student if he could drive a manual and he said yes. I soon found out he could not.
