If you've been driving an automatic for a while, your right foot has developed the light feel you need for driving, while your left foot has been dozing on the floor.

Getting that knack for the friction point is the keys to the castle.

In a parking lot, have him practice getting the car moving with no gas pedal at all. If he can do that five times in a row without a stall, he's home.
