I passed my learner's, restricted and full licence tests the first time.
If you just obey the law and keep your wits about you, it's fine.

My first car is my current car, and it's a 1976 Triumph 2500 mark 2. Fine old machine, that. Immaculate condition, too, and reliable as all hot damn.

I drive as little as possible, because I've got a decent bike, fuel's expensive, and my city's bus system is godly.
