Driving lessons

If you have not done so already, please read the following posts in order before you read this one.
If you have been driving for a while, it is probably an almost automatic task for you. But do you remember when you learned driving?

I have not heard of many people who learned to drive by just watching their parents or other people drive and not have anybody to guide them when they get behind the wheel, but I suppose it is possible. Can you imagine what that person's driving experience would be when they get behind the wheel on their own?

Most people I know, including me, learned driving either from their parents, somebody they know, or from a driving school. If you learned from parents or somebody you know, but never had a driver's education course, then chances are there are still many aspects of driving you figure out on the road, which is probably not a good place to learn. If you go to a driving school and also get a driver's education course, and followed the advice given there, then the chances are that you became a much better driver. There are still things you learn from situations on the road, but the surprises are much lesser.

Still after all that you have to get a license to drive. You take a test and somebody makes sure that you are qualified to drive.

Driving, once you learn it and gain experience, seems like a simple task. However, you had to go through lessons, education, tests, and a license before you could start driving on your own.
