Mate i could show you how in about an hour how to do it!
I have alway's felt more confident on a bike than been in a car not ball's out speed but round town.
Imho bike's are easyer than car's to learn.
When your on a bike you seem to see danger's that are not really there yet. Where as when your in a car you wait for it to happen.

I'll take you out and show you gears anytime mate
