Do you have a driver's licence? If so, how did you managed to obtain it? In Eastern Europe, it's pretty hard to get one, a long and painful journey.
It took me almost 1.5 years (including the COVID shutdowns) to get one. I also had to wageslave to be able to pay for the training, it's not cheap around here.
My motivation was that I live in a remote, hilly part of a small town, right next to a forest and there is no public transportation here. I was hold hostage up here, totally isolated. Sound good, but I was totally dependant on my parents to get into the town. I couldn't just go to the groceries, that would be a 2+ hour journey.
It's my single greatest achievement and I'm pretty proud of it. Driving is very useful skill, and one that is realistic and obtainable for NEETs, wizards. A way to make yourself more independent from your parents, others.
What are your thoughts?

I stopped driving because I've made bad decisions and mistakes on the road because of ADHD. Now I'm on some meds and want to try again. I'll buy some lessons

>Do you have a driver's licence?
not yet, right now Im attending the course to obtain it though. I finished the theory classes last week (it was stressing as hell for me not gonna lie, I had to sit in a school class with 17-18yo spoiled upper-middle class looking whores for over 30 hours) and this week I proceeded to driving with a trainer. I was suprised that he let me drive the training car by myself on public roads on day one already. the whole course should be finished in 6-7 weeks if everything goes right since Its only 4 hours of driving a week. also I live in one of the major cities so driving here is way harder than in smaller towns or rural areas especially in the rush hours when there are traffic jams everywhere and some people really drive like crazy + I additionally have to deal with trams and trains everywhere

Im in central europe and in the best case if I dont fail the exam the course takes up to 60 hours divided to 8 weeks.

I just thought that it would be an useful skill to have and a pretty important developmental milestone, also my parents offered to cover all the costs for my course (Its around 1000 euro here). they also have a car I will be able to use if I get my drivers license plus Im tired of having to deal with drunk aggressive hobos/other lowlifes all the time in public transit.

Nope, see no reason to outside of living in remote rural settlements. At least in Russian cities with over 50k population, taxi cabs are everpresent, can be ordered in 5-10 minutes, cheaper than having and maintaining a car and you can do whatever you want while someone else is driving.
