@frost Awesome! What'd you think? Because if that works okay, maybe delivery driver is a good fallback!

@Leucrotta I think it went quite well! I was STUNNED how natural driving felt, even after so long.

The guy thinks we should come back for the other two lessons in the nominal 6-hour course (of course 💰). And that we should find some way to practice. If we knew anyone local with a car...

Today was just basic driving on city streets and a bunch of turning.

@frost Not a terrible idea. I'm basically self-taught, which is a long story, and it took me *ages* to pick up stuff like looking several cars ahead to check what was going on, swapping lanes on the freeway without my heart in my mouth, etc.

@Leucrotta oof gods /freeways/

yeah

our parents did teach us looking ahead at the horizon instead of right in front of us, at least.
