Simple stupid question, those of you who drive, was it like a learning curve or was it just like "click" one lesson and you could do it?

I officially quit driving today until further notice, mostly because I fear for my own life whilst driving, also partly due to lack of money.

Is it just "one of those things" that some people do naturally and others struggle to adapt to, or am I just completely carp (yes, carp) at it for no understandable reason?

I passed first time in January after 5 lessons from a friend, it seemed second nature to me from the very beginning, I think it runs in the family, my brothers were like that too.

'Tis a rip-off, and I won't own a car for about another 4 or 5 years.
But best to get it out the way while I've got all the spare time and no financial problems.

To be honest, I don't like driving much. But I'll get a car one day, and really couldn't be bothered to learn if I was in my 20s.

Same reasons as FFF.

Learning to drive now to get it out of the way before Uni and stuff.

Driving is fun once you get the hang of it, I'm alright on my turn in the road etc, but have small problems with reversing around a corner.

Its even better when you get out onto the more open dual carriageways and you can slam your foot on the gas. Its a rush.

Although, it is full of frustration as well. My pet hatreds when driving are: -

1. Cyclists.
2. Slow drivers
3. Pedestrians who press the button at a crossing then cross the road without waiting for the green light to activate. Leaving drivers to wait at the lights for no reason
4. Cyclists.
5. Oh and, did I mention, Cyclists?

Yeah. So, meh.

Cyclists that don't use the cycle lanes.
Now there's something to scream about. Idiots.
