    Just don't think you have to press the petals hard to go fast and press the brake hard to stop I almost sent the driving instructor through the window he wasn't wearing his seatbelt witch is against the rules

    Driving isn't hard.

    It's not about being a good driver, it's about being a smart driver. If you're being be an idiot about it then you're ****ed, but if you know what the hell you're doing then you should be fine.

    And you don't have to drive in drivers ed. All you do is learn about the rules and laws, and at the end of the course you take your permit test, and then it's up to your parents to teach you.

    Behind the wheel is when you actually have to drive with an instructor. He/she decides if you're ready to get take the test to get your license.

    Driving is easier than walking.

    Oh damn, that must be really easy huh?

    But OT: It's pretty easy. I've drived a few of my friends' cars in empty parking lots with barely any accidents if there were cars there. The first time you drive, you'll get all paranoid and the 'what if' comes into thought.

    If your still unsure about driving, get a driving manual. It should be free, but I see people buying it.. iuno why. But yeah, get one and study it. You should ace your test once you do.

    Depends what you're driving.



    I find bunny slippers are the easier to drive than conventional transport.

    Its all about getting experience behind the wheel and gaining a sense of comfort and confidence. After you get over the initial fear of driving and learn the little things about the car you drive there should not be any problems. Driving is relatively easy, being a good driver, however, takes some time

    Well i jus started driving a bit ago got my permit in may only drove like 5 times tho 1 40 min drive ang the others jus local. the only thing i gotta tell u is this dont speed. dont worry about how slow ur going as long as it isnt like 10 under the limit. when u drive u dont have to hold ur foot on the gas all the time, use one foot to drive mainly ur right foot. when ur changing lanes make sure u arnt too close to a car when u do so either speed up or slow down its a lot harder then it sounds :/ i almost crashed into a truck on the highway. uhh lets see.....if i was u try to find a car that doesnt have power steering which is like u turn the wheel abit and it moves a lot.

    Remember DO NOT WORRY ABOUT WHAT THE OTHER DRIVERS THINK OF YOU TAKE UR TIME WHEN DRIVING

    Accidents happen because people do something stupid. Not paying attention to the road. Driving way to fast and losing control of their car. Texting. Doing makeup. Late for school/work. Not being careful in snow or wet conditions. Swerving for animals.

    Its always some other 'thing' that gets people into accidents. Driving is easy, especially in automatic cars, don't have to subconsciously think about shifting or anything.

    Don't try to make everyone on the road happy. Do what you are comfortable doing. If traffic is going 80 and the speed limits only 65, doesn't mean you have to do 80 with them. If theres a no turn on red sign but everyone is turning on red, doesnt mean you have to do it too.

    Obey the driving laws, don't do stupid shit while driving, and you will have no problems what so ever. If you have to second guess what your doing or worried about a cop stopping you, its probably illegal and you shouldn't do it. Don't drive to impress friends. I've pulled too many lifeless and limp 15 and 16 year olds out of cars because of something their friends thought would have been cool.

    Just be safe, pay attention, and you have nothing to worry about.

    Cars are easy to drive. Feel sorry for bus, big rig, and truck drivers.

    Just keep sharp and there's nothing to worry about.
