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

My Dad taught me when I was a kid. We used to go to empty mall parking lots and practice various maneuvers. Once I was old enough for a license I took a driving course to get public road/highway experience, but by that point I was comfortable behind the wheel.

That said, I despise driving. I can't wait for self-driving cars to be the norm.

Self driving cars or better public transport (in my area at least) is the dream

Absolutely. I live in a rural area now so driving is a necessity. I miss being able to just buy a monthly pass and take the subway everywhere.
