Learning Standard: May Stall. May Roll Back.

This Christmas my brother drove home in his new (used) car. Its has a standard transmission and he had never driven a standard on the road before he bought the car a week prior.

I think it was pretty brave of him to attempt the 9 hour drive from Ontario to Pennsylvania, or maybe just a sign of his youthful optimism. He did make a sign to alert following drivers. It said "Learning Standard: May Stall. May Roll Back."

We were so pleased to see him when he arrived. He told us he had only stalled twice.
