The actual operation of an automobile is cake, its all the other people operating their automobiles that you need to worry about.

It's not as hard as parents and instructors make it seem.

After you start driving without any adults in yout car, it's a lot more relaxed and easier.


Also, never rely on other drivers to do their job.. they dont always do it. If they screw up, you have to be prepared.

wow, your drivers ed teacher is going to like you....

I already knew how to drive, so we just drove around for an hour and talked. He straight up told me that he liked ending the day with me, cause I actually knew what I was doing.

My driving instructor told me I had a heavy foot. Even though I was doing the speed limit.

Drive Defensively.
