Learning to drive as part of high school is a super American thing that is really indicative of your attitudes towards driving and car ownership

    It's pretty standard in Britain to learn to drive when you're 17. The testing seems to be much more rigorous than whatever happens in America though, and Anon would hopefully have lost their licence by now!

    Unfortunately in huge swaths of America a driver's license is practically a necessity -- there are no realistic alternatives. A 30 minute to an hour drive to go to work or get groceries isn't uncommon.
