>>68029>Do you have a driver's licence? Yep.
>If so, how did you managed to obtain it? My parents paid for two courses (I failed the exam after the first one). It was fairly difficult, but it's not rocket science either.
My first driving teacher was the cheapest one I could find and he was pretty shitty. Only after failing the exam I started to look for higher quality ones and that helped a lot. Who knew that not being screamed and shouted at helps with learning?
Anyway, unlike you OP, I was doing it in a big city and I think it helped me a lot; I wouldn't have an opportunity to learn in practice how to deal with huge, multi-lane roads or trams otherwise.
>In Eastern Europe, it's pretty hard to get one, a long and painful journey.Yep, that's where I am from.
>My motivation was (…)In my family I was the first person to learn how to drive. It helped us a lot, but at the same time my situation was an opposite to yours: my parents were depending on me to drive them around and that's really bothersome at times. Often there are situations when I'm waiting for hours for my mother because she had some shopping to do. Since she keeps promising me that she'll learn to drive herself but never actual does anything about it, it made me really resent her, from my POV she was blatantly lying and manipulating me for years. Rather than becoming more independent, I now am forced to stay closer to them, as they need my help.
>It's my single greatest achievement and I'm pretty proud of it.Yeah, it's a good skill to have. Sometimes I regret getting it, but in the long it's a really good choice. Good for you, Anon. Have you went on any cool road trips lately?
