It is useful though. Going away for my first trip driving in the car was fantastic, especially doing stuff like camping or something which is a pain to do by train. Just the freedom to go where you want to when you want to.
I can sympathise about the huge trucks though, they always seem to come right up behind you - I'm sure they do it on purpose.
I only started to enjoy driving once I'd passed my test, I guess the feeling that yes, I could actually do it. Now I don't have to think so much about changing gear and the mechanics of what I'm doing with my feet, it becomes automatic and you find the main thing is watching what everybody else on the road is doing....
I might still have a very handy book about driving, would you like it? (was thinking of sending it but realised I can give it to you on the 23rd! whee!)
