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

I had lessons from various people every summer for the first few years after I turned 17 (age you can start learning on public roads in the UK). I'd get to "test standard" each time on the mechanics of it, but navigating other drivers was too much so I never actually took a test, and never intend to.
I'm now in my 30s and have structured my life around not having a car. My house is on a 24-hour bus route into town where I work, and walking distance to most amenities. My husband does have a car, so he can drive us places that aren't on public transit routes (such as our parents' houses) but the vast majority of the time I'm doing my own thing while he's at his job an hour's drive away.
If the usa would get their shit together I could structure my life like that damn. But no the country I live in has to be a driving focused thing, cause everyone loves traffic
