Friends with cars, teachers that let you fucking borrow their car?! Yeah, didn't have any of those options. Even if I did, didn't have the money to buy one or get insured.
The test its self is also pretty difficult here, you are not passing it on a couple hours driving a friends car as practice.
I didn't have that. If something was going on 50 miles away, I didn't go.
Friends with cars, yes. And teachers who pitied me, yes. But it certainly want a couple of hours. We're talking about years of sneaking out in the middle of the night and driving friend's cars on dirt roads. I didn't own a vehicle for another decade after that.
I don't know about where you grew up, but what I grew up, even if you crossed that 60 mile trek to the nearest city, you'd still need a car to get to most places, because it's fuckoff big and not well connected
