It might not be uh, peak performance, but I passed my driving test (roughly 1.5 years of lessons, 1 per week, ~£5000 on lessons)

What the fuck am I looking at??
when people say Americans can’t drive, this is why
What's the connection to someone struggling to learn to drive?
Because that's what I see, and frankly don't understand it. Today's cars are tremendously easier to drive than what I learned on, and you should see what my parents had to do to pass their tests, driving manual transmissions without synchronizers, having to start on a hill - smoothly, etc.
All I see here is someone who finds driving particularly difficult, like I find math particularly difficult, or some people find spelling or grammar particularly difficult.
If anything, I give OP credit for sticking with it and not giving up, despite the cost. It's really hard to keep trying when it feels like you're just always struggling.
if only automatic transmissions made people know and obey traffic laws, not run red lights or drive drunk
but my point was about the weakly enforced education component and how relatively easy it is to get a license in the US
so even if he struggled the fact he was required to show minimum competence instead of simply processed through is my point
In the UK, you need to show quite a bit of competence to pass. One of the hardest tests in the world.
yep but we Americans get mad when told we are not exceptional and our drivers are under trained
