Because I keep failing these theory exams and I’m about to throw the towel. These laws, rules and stuff are so stupid and complicated to remember. Also this shit isn’t cheap to do and I don’t have a car anyways.

    It entierly depends on why you are getting your license.

    I only got mine back in 2022 when I was 35.

    I had lived alone for eight years using only public transport to get around.

    But the pendemic made me wat to get it and a car.

    I hated the isolation and not wanting to risk doing stuff, this is in Sweden with probably the lowest restrictions in the western world.

    I wanted to get out and take photos of cool places that are difficult to get to with public transport.

    It took me a year of near constabt lessons before I was ready and passed the test.

    This was while at the same time working a full time job and taking days off when I had driving lessons.

    I passed my second practice test, but both theory tests went well.

    Then after having passed my dad helped me immensley and took me out every weekend and we just drove and drove and drove so I would get used to it, half a year later I bought my first car, and it was fantastic, being able to get to abandoned castle ruins, odd museums, distilleries, the airport runway viewing spot, self service farm shops and more has been fantastic!

    But if you are living in a city then there is very little need for a car, I live in the suburbs and would never consider commuting to work with my car.

    I did take some lessons when I was 18-19, but I never got it then, I could not deal with driving a car at the time, sometimes you just need to wait and find the right time and do it for the right reasons.
