How does one drive a car?

Serious question. I'm already 19 and none of my friends or family have ever gotten with me on the car to teach the basics or anything at all. So any tips? How do you manage to stay straight on the road without looking at it from a middle perspective? How do i know if it started correctly? Sometimes i hear that something happens with the clutch(which i have no idea what that is). How do i reverse and park correctly? Who gets to pass first in crosses/intersections that don't have traffic lights. Advantages and disadvantages on standard vs automatic?

If you driving knowledge is as limited as you have described you are very good candidate for driving school. Please do know drive otherwise.
