There's no shame if you have a good enough reason. I've only had mine for a year and I'll be 22 next month. I had no need for it for the longest time since everything was within walking distance of me.

as opposed to just a leather jacket or some shit. The reduced risk of injury or hospitalisation is actually quite significant.

i like motorcycles but its more likely youre going to end up in an accident because someone else made a mistake and not you

Statistically, you're actually gonna take yourself out in a single-vehicle incident before anything else, either because of present road hazzards, pushing the bike to far, or a combination of both.

I've already done that so next for me is to get fucked by some guy who doesn't see me and pulls out in from of me.

Horrifying. Everything up until that point is fine--I can read about it, talk about, think about it just fine--but as soon as I'm actually behind the wheel, my anxiety shoots up and I start panicking. As a result, I've never gone above 25mph when driving with my parents. Way too scared to go faster.

Today was just introductions and whatnot. My instructor seems okay. Been teaching for 26 years and claims to have never been in an accident with a student. Deadpan sense of humor. I usually hate guy teachers, though. We'll see how it goes.

You finally manned up and decided to start driving?

Doctor Doom · July 07, 2016, 12:45:06 PM

Back when I was learning, my class had to practice in a cramped little parking lot with sections dedicated to practicing each maneuver. Nobody knew where the hell anything was, so I pretty much just kept practicing parallel parking since everything else was piss easy.

My instructor kept screaming at me to 'follow the lines!', so I looked down at the billions of lines and basically told her to go fuck herself. It was stupid and I learned nothing from it.

i mean, you don't just "start driving"--there's this whole learning process involved before you're even able to, but yeah

Dietrich Six · July 07, 2016, 12:50:41 PM

Easiest way to get over your fear is to just do it. I taught my ex how to drive and she was much the same, now she's flying down the highway.

Ingy · July 07, 2016, 01:03:27 PM

You literally have nothing to gain from taking a class

Driving is the most self explanatory thing ever and you won't even use half the shit they teach you

I would just take the test

DAS B00T x2 · July 07, 2016, 01:13:47 PM

You'll get over that fear of speed eventually verb.

But then you'll learn new ones. I currently am terrified to push beyond 110.

Ásgeirr · July 07, 2016, 01:16:06 PM

How's driving in busy areas?

I wasnt so scared of accidents as i was of the vehicle breaking down in some way in the middle of the road.

i haven't actually been on the road yet

when i drove, we would just pick the safest and most secluded areas we could find

It's pretty intuitive that it's first come, first serve. Plus that logic tho.

except it isn't, because that's not even the rule

it's not "first to come"--it's first to stop

they're not the same thing

You could just learn all that online
I just don't think it's worth the time and money to learn like 4 new facts about the road

none of the things you listed give you any value

and depending on your job, you could have negative value

and considering your age, you're pretty much guaranteed to have a job with negative value

Well seeing how I can actually do things other than being cynical from the safety of mom's basement, I think I qualify as a capable human being

And I didn't realize building a school to educate children was a negative job
