    And meanwhile Neeson says.
    "Do you know how to shoot?"
    "No."
    "Then drive".
    [Except she's certifiably incapable of that, as we established at the beginning]

      And she drives stick shift like a rally car driver. Such a terrible movie.
      I love movies.

        LOL you do realize she hit pretty much everything she came into contact with, right?

          The car never went dead on her if you clutch quite fast especially under stress; you would have to turn the engine back on over and over.

            If she was driving an automatic it'd have been more believable, driving stick shift is much harder when you learn in an automatic, and in the US all driver's ed classes are in automatic shift. Yes, she hit everything, but she knew EXACTLY when to put the clutch in and out when turning, the car never stalled, it never even looked like she struggled with the gears!
            For someone who drives stick shift, out of EVERYTHING else, this was the least believable thing.

            WHAT THE FVCK IS A BIEBER????

              Most Mercedes Benz that are sold have automatic shift anyway, so I don't understand why they bothered with a manual shift car in the movie.

                Many Taxis around the world(Tokyo, Hong Kong, Moscow, ) aren't standard vehicles. More often than not they're custom built or custom retrofit vehicles for taxi use only.

                  In Turkey most of our cabs aren't Mercedes. And our drivers don't like auto shift cars, generally women use them here. Also we used those police cars in 70s, not any more, even the police amblem were wrong. As much as I like Liam Neeson, I can't help but say that I hate most the fact that almost no women were shown in the film, like our women don't go outside; and about the ones we saw well, very few women wear the black robes of cover nowadays in Turkey. However all of the women we saw in the movie were wearing them. In this age, are you (generally European and American people) still confusing us with the Arabic people? Yes we are Muslim and I even wear a headscarf but not like them. 'Extra info:The imam on the funeral at the beginning wasn't Albanian, he was definetely Turkish. And one more thing; why do these Albanian people speak English among themselves? Also the soccer play on Tv was in Turkish while the people watching it were speaking something I don't understand.

                        She wasn't taking driver's ed, pay attention to the movie she was learning from her dad. Are you trying to tell me Cadillac didn't make a manual Escalade?

                          Yes, that's generally how it works.

                              She hit about everything, but the car looked about new at all times. They must have used about 15 cars, and/or pairs of side mirrors when playing this part.

                                All we learned is that she failed because she couldn't PARK, not because she couldn't DRIVE. I think it was explicitly stated that is why she failed the test twice.

                                  Not being able to parallel park is not the same as not being able to drive

                                    She could drive. That wasn't the problem, the problem was she couldn't parallel park which was said - but yes the fact that she couldn't do that but could whip around those tight street corners at high speeds was ridiculous.

                                      Or that she could now drive a stick shift manual and drift 180s.

                                          she could parallel park perfectly fine, she proved it to her dad in the beginning of the movie. she said the reason she screwed up on her driving test was because "maybe she didn't want a license" .. implying she intentionally did horribly
