    Well, this isn't the worst April Fool's update that could have happened.
    It could have been PONEPowered all over again.

    Full disclosure, I was pretty busy before hand, and had to rush, so this was what I came up with in short notice/time. 

     

    I've already started planning for next year though...

    Most people panic because most people have never received proper driving instruction. At least, here in the US.

     

    Driver's Ed is a joke, at least the ones they have in school. So, the majority of drivers have little to no experience behind the wheel before they manage to pass their driver's test.

     

    So, essentially, that's why most of the drivers in the US (especially in the north, where there's more large cities which teach OTHER bad habits) suck ass. Their license (which they keep forever, so no further instruction required!) is their learner's, basically.

     

    I actually failed my test the first time (partly due to lack of instruction, partly because driving made, and still kinda makes, me super nervous), and hired a driving instructor afterwards. This was a VERY good decision. I still get kind of anxious in a car, but knowing the proper way to do things rather than being taught bad habits by my parents that sunk in has paid off, especially in the "avoiding accidents that would have been caused by other people" department.

    Driver's school and a driving instructor are fantastic investments. Mine even let me skip the DMV driving test. I took it there with the same instructor that I learned with, they signed a paper, and I took it in to get my license. 

     

    The downside I i get very upset when people don't understand the right of way.
