AMERICAN DRIVING IN ENGLAND │TEACHING MY FIANCÉE TO DRIVE 

I lost it when Monica was like “Sam look at me I’m a normal UK driver” like holding on for dear life to the steering wheel 💀🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'm an American and I can drive manual and automatic and I cannot even imagine learning how to drive stick while also driving from the right seat and on the left side of the road. You did so so well for the first time!

This is so funny! You two are awesome! Also the clutch is now called the "other brake" 😂😂👌

I love the patience and love Sam showed when teaching!! It makes SUCH a difference to learning. I learned how to drive stick while also learning how to drive a car for the first time and it was...an experience 😂 Monica did such a great job for her first time!!

"You're on the right hand side of the road Honey" that is so adorable 😍 Edit: thank you so so much for 44 likes!! Edit 2: HOW DID I GET 70 LIKES 😳 TYSM

As someone from the manual car community we would like to say you did very well for your first time. Not stalling immediatly was quite impressive.

After seeing what the roads are like in England, compared to USA and Aus, the roads are narrow and tight, so props to you, Monica, driving a manual/drive stick car, driving on the opposite side, and having a patient teacher in you, Sam, I am not suprised that you nailed the driving. I would have freaked out I am sure, driving a manual/drive stick is too hard for me lol.

I drive a stick shift every day but I will give Monica credit for a job well done and being able to follow simple instructions. It took my wife a while and one burnt out clutch to learn

HAHAHAHAHA, their faces in the thumbnail 😂 2:01extra break 😂 Sam:- You are on right hand side of the road honey. *Monica steers left* Me:- thank god they didn't crash. Also, it's adorable ❤️ 8:29 hey, British lady 😜

Wow, I'm impressed. She did a really good job!

I have never seen someone explain how to do this so well! Good job at explaining Sam!! Great job Monica!

Monica did a fantastic job, lots to think about, 3 pedals, gear stick, drive on left hand side of the road etc.

I was laughing and smiling entire time. Specially when she kept pulling to the right side of the road 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.

I am from India where we follow British rules for driving. I was in US for 6 years and hence have good driving experience. In 6 years i got pulled over for only once for not stopping at yellow (but was driving to hospital). I can understand the feeling for driving for first time in opposite directions and you really did very well. i will give some credit to your guide. You both rock.

I have drove a manual truck before, but while learning i stalled so much the clutch now has a permanent dip in it(still there 15+ years later). You did amazing Monica

Omg she did so goood 😱 my very first experience with a car was a manual one (which is what i learnt how to drive on) and I stalled the hell out of it the first few times. Granted, she has some experience driving, because automatic driving experience still counts BUT STILL SHE DID GRREAAAAT! ❤️

I enjoy your videos. I am 57 years old and have been watching you both for about 2 years now! Cant wait to see more videos

I'm impressed that you were able to drive a stick shift and drive on the left side of the road! There is no way I could do that. You had a great teacher!

Still one of the cutest couples on RU-vid.

“SEAAAAAMMMMM” Gosh y’all are so cute omg y’all the reason I still believe I can still find love some day! My ideal relationship 🥺❤️

Considering this was your first time driving a manual, you did extremely well. Manual is pretty challenging considering you have gear changes and an extra pedal, which can be very confusing and takes a while to get use to, depending on the person and how often you practice, and for your first time with manual, well done to you, you nailed it 👍

I don’t know for others but I love manual drive, driver has full control of vehicles and it’s more fun to drive.. always remember.. it’s ‘CBA’ rule you need to remember always.. A: Acceleration B: Brakes C: Clutch It’s always in straight line ‘CBA’ from right to left, just in case if you ever get confused which one is which. I hope Monica love driving those stick shift than automatic.. go girl go… 🚘🚗zoom..🤣

I know I'm super late to this video, just found you guys and trying to watch all videos up to the present. Anyway I absolutely love how you two support each other and this video is a great example. Monica did a great job learning in such 'strange' circumstances and Sam was a wonderful, clear, patient instructor. You two can accomplish anything together!

I was stationed in The UK. I brought my American Car over and without any help, drove around East Anglia on the wrong side of the car, on the wrong side of the road. Roundabouts were my favorite 😄

Thought Monica did really well and Sam remained calm throughout. Well done both.

Well done Monica!!! Well done indeed , and a good job coaching her Sam , very good.

aw 🥺she looks so nervous! she did great though!!!

My boyfriend has always had manual his whole life were here in the US his family lives in Ireland but when I learned to drive it didn't happen nearly as quick hqha, because it was a modified mustang with 380hp and 400tq haha but I got there and it's opened a whole new world and I love it!!! Good for you monica!!!

For a first try with a manual gearbox you handled it pretty well Monica ! Good job 👏

First off, she drove actually very well. I’m from India and here, manual/stick shift cars are very common and also the right side steering wheel and left side driving…literally the same thing as the UK. You guys are the cutest couples! I wish you guys the best of luck!❤

That was amazing fantastic job Monica and great job being a teacher Sam. I’ve just got myself a car that’s an automatic and it will be my first time driving one too and I’m a bit nervous

U guys are just adorable and a couple goal I don't know how long distant relationship works this much ❤️

girlll monica i was stressed with you while watching this

Sam is so patient and encouraging. 😊

That is so much brain power to learn stick, be on the opposite side of the road, and shifting with your non dominant hand all at once. Super impressed

Wow ,well done Monica , you did amazing ! I am very impressed .

I loved driving with a stick shift car. I learned how to drive in one and owned one for 10 years to drive to work. But i used to have a lot of traffic jams. And constant slow driving and stopping with a manual is just hard and boring because of the clutch. That’s why I started driving a automatic in 2012. It has his benefits i have to say. Anyway great driving from Monica, first time stick shift, steering wheel on the right and driving on the left side!!! I say well done💪👍.

I didn't driven a manual car, but teacher like this sweeter may help in learning manual cat. May creator bless his mercy upon you guys.

I think I would be more scared to drive in New York City than in the UK (I'm American).

Awww I’ve been waiting for this video! Finally 😊😂

Don't stress about stalling! :D I stalled SOOO many times when my dad taught me manual in high school XD. Been driving for 7 years now exclusively with my manual car and I never stall now EXCEPT I actually stalled the other day at a light because a cat distracted me XD You got this girly! Proud of you!!

I love you guys, you guys are such a cute couple, & you did good teaching her Sam, & Monica you did really good on driving! Very different than here in the US! My husband’s name is Sam too, we’ve been Married for a year now since June 25th! BTW, I love watching your guys videos!

I can't imagine how hard can be drive in the opposite side of the road.

I love u guys soo much . Yall are soo underrated I loveeeeee uuuuuu

She did very well your a good teacher mate

Monica is a good driver What a lovely couple

I've only been a sub for around a month, but you two are just a great couple and I love your videos and your relationship :) also, I'm British and can only drive Autos due to a disability so I fully get the auto to manual fear that Monica has! I'm hoping there's a part 2!

I think around 90% of all cars are manual in Europe. It's not just a UK thing :p

I could not drive on the opposite right side it’s is impossible for me but watching her driving it’s so funny and entertaining I can’t wait for them to get married much love to you both!💯⭐️🤩❤️❤️❤️

Great video for learning to drive in British style 🤩☺

All depends what you are used to . Don’t forget most of us once drove a manual for the first time

I love this video! I need a driving teacher that is patient like Sam! Where can I find one?

It's right hand drive in Australia and New Zealand too

Monica, I feel your pain. My parents made me learn to drive a manual while I was on my permit, and I drive a manual all the time. I’m American btw

I am from India and we drive on the left side of the road. So when I started to learn to drive I always had a problem with manual that I had to look down at the gear to change the gear and so I almost hit something a couple of times because of this, but the way she was so naturally changing gears on her first time was awesome 😁. Now I good at driving as currently I drive an automatic car 😁

you don't have to find the bite every time you change gear. You just press the Accelerator as you let your foot off the Clutch, if you find the bite you are more likely to create an accident with someone behind you going into your rear end. Only find the bite if you are at a complete stop or if you have stopped on a hill at a junction or at lights together with hand brake to prevent rolling backwards.

Your town's so pretty, Sam. I'd love to go there again, next time I stop up in Liverpool- (once this bloody lockdown's over!)

You seriously did amazing girl! I’m American and tried to learn how to drive a manual and it was overwhelming to say the least. I can’t imagine adding driving on the other side of the road and being on the passenger side as well!

My brothers used to say, you're a driver if you can drive a manual car. They taught me to drive a jeep early, then progressed to a car.

I love monica. She's so cute

I learned on my grandfather's truck, when I was 16. 1975 Ford F-150 with manual steering and a 3 on the tree. Been driving a standard ever since. Way to go Monica! Did waaaay better than me my first time!

We do enjoy what you guys are doing.... great time ahead. Do pray for India 🇮🇳

Driving a manual isn't the hard part, remembering to clutch, shift with my left hand and stay on the left side of the road is what would get me. Lol

Just a suggestion. Invest in a set of 'L' and 'P' plates untill she's more confident.

Love this video, Monica you did amazing! Please do a part 2 x

I think the next video should be Monica teaching sam to drive in the us. (Good luck Monica). Love you both

Automatic is sooo easyyyy, sod manual, they won’t last long soon they won’t sell manual cars

my boyfriend taught me how to drive a manual in the parking lot of a cinema 😭 I’m so impressed that you went to the main road so quickly omg. I’m back in America now and my boyfriend is already looking forward to getting me fully on the road, ahhhh

I'm learning to drive a manual car rn and this video is just hitting me right in the feels 💜

Very impressive. Another nail in the coffin of the lie that women are worse drivers than men. I think she has subconsciously been watching and learning by being driven as a passenger. Try and encourage her to get out every day in the car, but do not rush it. Although not a legal requirement, I would probably get "P" plates put on the car for now. When she inevitably curbs a wheel, takes someone's wing-mirror off, or scratches the wing, that's when she will need the most support. As her confidence builds go on day trips together, and get her to drive stuff like the Hardknott to Wrynose Pass, single track country roads with passing places etc to keep challenging her. Maybe do a holiday where she drives the North Coast 500, and you could vlog about it . Maybe buy her a track day in a right hand drive manual supercar (if you can find one!). If she really enjoys it you could book an off road driving weekend course.

If you push down the clutch before you brake in heavy vehicles downhill they'll accelerate really much. So it's good to learn how to brake without clutch until you have to switch gear.

It helps if you remember to keep the driver on the inside and the passenger on the outside both in UK and US.

A natural. Naturally gifted and naturally beautiful. Sam, you're only a great teacher when you have a great student.

btw *never focus on pushing the clutch in first if needing to slow down or break cause if in emergency you could lose a vital split second to break and save yourself alot of hassle or injury* . I did this and escaped an accident barely but I stalled the car...well what you prefer? I rest my case

Good job Monica! Sam you’re a good instructor. You’re very patient and calm.

Brake then clutch not clutch then brake, otherwise you coast the car which can speed it up rather than slow it down :) Good job though Monica! You took to that fast.

I bought a motorcycle before I'd ever driven a car and learned to ride before drive then I bought a stick shift car and then eventually automatic. Did it all backwards. I'm shocked that anyone is that good at driving manual for the first time. Well done!

I was so nervous for you, Monica! Great job!! Sam, awesome job teaching her.

I once took an american to do this in the Netherlands where we drive on the right hand side as well and she cried and kept stalling XD

im a brit living in NZ and can drive both manual and auto But thankfully in Nz they drive on the same side coz that would freak me out x well done Monica you smashed it❤

Loved it ❤️

I’m American and only know how to drive automatic so I’d be scared too.

Wow she killed it. I want try

Wow learned to drive a manual transmission and drive on the opposite side of the road. Well done Monica.

Aww she did so well. She even set off without stalling! I want an American girlfriend now. 😩

I have an anxiety attack when I drive a automatic cause there isn’t three peddles

The manual thing is something common in all of Europe not just the UK

Wow you master driving a manual really easy great job Monica coming from someone that has driven a manual before I am 23 years old and I love driving manuals Sam you’re an awesome teacherI love how you were very patient with her

Always teach your teen manual, that way he/she can drive any car without issue

In the Netherlands it is mandatory to learn how to drive a manual car if you want your "full" car driver license.

HOW THE DONT YOU GUYS HAVE 1 million subscribers you guys deserve more than that

I think some driving lessons would be a really good idea

It was my first time visiting the UK in 2001. I had no intention of driving because my friend was going to drive. Due to unforeseen unfortunate events (he got pickpocketed on the London Underground), his military ID, driver license, and passport were stolen. We stayed in my friend's flat in East London and they wanted to visit Stonehenge & Bath. The minivan (apparently, a minivan is actually "mini") was dropped off and lo and behold...it was an automatic! I think the most scariest part of it all was driving through London. As soon as we got to the countryside, it was fine until we had to drive back to East London.

I learned driving in Austria. There it's also really common to see stick shift cars, because they're cheaper than automatic transmission ones. So I also learned how to drive with stick shift transmission, however what I would struggle with, is that I'd have to use my left (weaker) hand to shift gears. I would NOT enjoy that.

Vauxhall Corsa - the choice of criminals, and those who teach people to drive without "L" plates. (you said you did it legally - I believe you - hoho!) You're a very good teacher. Not sure about the insurance - "I'm letting an American drive my manual car, she keeps veering to the right" ... that must be at least £3000 on your premium!

I stalled. Its okay honey, everyone stalls sometimes. Legend said it all.

American here, everytime I drive in the UK I have to pay way more to rent a automatic cause I can't drive manual. So I've conquered the opposite of the road, but not manual so way to go Monica!

Amazing manual car instructor best directions ever... so patient ND never freaked out great job.

I love you guys so much love from India ❤

You are so patient Sam and Monoca is killing it! 💪 I'm Canadian 🇨🇦 and i've been driving manual cars all my life. I hate automatic cars lolll But driving on the other side of the road...it's another thing even if you know how to drive manual 😝
