Learning to drive?
Hello lovely people,
I was wondering on how yall learned to drive. I have been struggling with it and been getting quite discouraged. It seems all so overwhelming. I also feel pressure since the car I drive was a gift from a family member that I don't wanna disappoint. Im 20 and I feel like if I don't learn this I'll never be able to get any further in life

Cars & I don't get along...at all. I started learning to drive when I was 15, couldn't get my license until I was almost 20 because of repeated test failures.
Every single car I've owned died from either a major accident (most likely due to sensory overwhelm), or mechanical neglect. The last time I stepped behind the wheel of a car was at least 8 years ago. I've been using mostly public transit & occasionally Lyft/Uber.
I don't regret my decision to give-up driving, the amount of anxiety & what-not has dropped tremendously. You could liquidate & offer me all of Elon Musk's & Jeff Bezos' assets, and it would not be enough to get me to drive again.
@kerneltux @Sentinian This so much. I would gladly skip the fortune too. I started trying driving at 19, tried numerous times and am just now at almost 35 getting behind the wheel again. It absolutely terrifies me. The sensory overwhelm is the worst.
Perhaps this may be the best choice for me. I definitely have pressure from family and peers to learn however so its stressful either way, but I would rather stress then physical danger
