You don't realise how many times you need to get stuff from the shops until you have a licence.
Seriously, driving and being mobile will increase your confidence a hundredfold. You'll have to beat off the women with sticks and you'll be far more creative at work.
Your love life – with your wife, of course :) – will be far improved as your life will see you as a man, not a pansy.
Just hurry up already and get the damn licence. Oh, and don't drive near me until you have some serious hours of practice under your belt.
:)

I've been told the test is a piece of piss over here. Just do it and be thankful you're not in the UK...
Over there you first need to pass the Theory Test, AND a Hazard Perception Test (video of a driving car where you click when you see a hazard).
The Practical Test lasts for 40 minutes and includes a vision test (license plate at a distance), 3 out of 5 special maneuvers (parallel park, emergency stop, turn in road, reverse round corner and one other which I can't remember), AND you have to take a practical test on the functions of the engine.
Pain in the fucking arse. Took me six months of lessons before I could take my test.
- Er. whups.
5timuli - Oh, this is the right place. Never mind.5timuli
- right - you're exactly the type of expat I need advice from :)mikotondria3
- And the roads are much narrower and there are roundabouts. Plus no turn on red. And more pedestrians.5timuli
- The woman who gave me my written test here said the practical is just a drive round the block! :D5timuli
- Er. whups.

Driving also helps men's sex life.
more confidence... longer sessions... better fertility... better loads...
- ...hmm, I have seriously thought I was sterile for a while now...maybe this'll do it..mikotondria3
- Whereas cycling does the opposite :)5timuli
- <- true fact about cycling. Spandex shorts stimulate estrogen production in the bawlz.VectorMasked
- hahahaephix
- Razorblade saddles cut off nadular circulation too.5timuli
- Plus you can have an affair with a woman further from home :) hahaBrainiac

You know, I have yet to have sex in a car. I imagine it would be quite awkward. I haven't even had sex on a bike. Or with one.
- Car sex is good!! I think it's the thrill of maybe getting caught ahahaBrainiac
- messy, but good :Pephix
- It sucked when I tried it. My ex-gf and I tried doing it while driving on a weekend towards a ski resort. Not comfy.VectorMasked
- fingering does work though ;o)
heheVectorMasked - her on top in the front passenger seat works a treat.Amicus
- Overrated and awkward.juhls
- care to share any details juhlsVectorMasked
- did you put the seat back? My first gf lost her virginity in the passenger seat of my hatchback after weeks of fooling around.Amicus
- I've had a makeshift foursome in a small Daewoo. I think it only worked because of all the alcohol.vonheart

If you can go forwards, backwards and round corners you will pass your test.

"I fear that if someone cut me off, or acted dangerously around me, I'd go crazy and drive into them in a rage."

I didn't know it was even legal in the US not to drive.
Anyway, I'm finally thinking of getting a license this year. I'm 35.

you dont need to be able to drive a car as long as you can dial 911

Motivation? Nobody's really said it here yet, but, cars are cool. You get to pick it out and be all proud of it and shit. Yeah, having a car can be a royal pain in the ass sometimes, but they are awesome.
- little of this statement is true, mostly opinion.version3

29. No License. Sometimes annoying, most of the time OK.

Best thing is to have a chauffeur.

I haven't owned a car for about 6 years.
Anyway, have your wife take you out to the country somewhere where you can get behind the wheel and practice. On a country road you can't do much damage.
