Think of your favorite video game or hobby, do you have to remember each movement and action? Driving is like that, eventually it's just an extension of your ability to move about.
Dude, the difference is that with a game nothing happens when you fuck up. I can mess with it All I want. That's just not possible on the road in any way.
Go to a parking lot and frig around till you get it? I mean e brake turns and slipping and sliding in icy parking lots in winter is how most good drivers get good. In order to be safe accidentally out of control, you've got to experience what that feels like in a safe, intentional way.
This also removes a bit of the fear factor and anxiety which imo cause as much or more accidents than anything else. Most friends I have that aren't great drivers are scared of driving. Thanks to their fears and indecision, they've got more accidents and fender benders than anyone.
Confidence is key.
I can't go anywhere. Nobody here has license to take out the car
