Depends. Do you have access to a car to practice between now and then?
If not, no. You'll almost certainly fail. You won't have the practice needed to understand how to control the car, even if you know the theory.
If you do, read thoroughly whatever handbook your country has and take a few online practice tests of your knowledge. Get out as often as you can in the car, even if it's just going round a car park. Getting on the actual road is much better. If you can do that, you'd probably be fine.

Totally possible! Even better if you have someone to sit in the passenger seat to help you with blindsides and whatnot. Try to find a road/ parking lot where there aren’t a lot of cars before you hit the roads, so you can get a feel of the vehicle, length, weight things like that. Good luck!!

The actual driving part is simple. All the rule book is more important. Go slow and stay back

Of course you can. Read the handbook, and start practicing. Your skills and confidence will improve with your experience. Learning on a manual transmission will give you the ability to drive whatever you need to later. Being able to drive will make you more independent, you got this!

I'll be sure to remember this the next time I need to remember something.

Yes. And no experience yet means you’re not used to making any mistakes.

I paid for driving lessons. I had a really great teacher who got me together in less than a month. 4 lessons and he met up with me 2 hours before the road test to make sure I was ready and comfortable. Never been behind the wheel prior to that(the 4 paid lessons and the road prep before the test). Find an instructor that you're comfortable with and take in everything that he/she is teaching you. The main thing is the parallel parking, get it right and you're good, most instructors have a great tip for you to follow.

Can confirm, a car was stolen in our neighborhood, and several people had driveway camera footage of the guy going down the street and trying door handles.

If you’re already willing to ghost them give them the opportunity stop first, by asking them to stop.
Also do some self reflecting and make sure you just don’t need to be more tolerant.

if you an afford it, find a decent driving instructor and pay for a few lessons. they will know all the little tricks to get u ready for the test. sometimes theyll even take you on the routes the tester will take you although theyre not supposed to.
mine was an absolute pimp who loves the ladies and got me mine on my first try.
instructors are used to driving with dumdums, dont practice with a parent or friend who will probably give u some shit advice and also shit their pants

I'm in therapy already. I've talked with my therapist about it before well I think at least, but I don't remember what she said at all in all honesty. I was going to talk about it with her again, but in the meantime I'm just seeing if people know any coping methods so I can sleep for an hour or two before having to wake up for my day lol

I think the OP is talking about a fly window or quarter window.
not a curved corner window

That depends on how much time you have to practice. Yes you can learn to pass a driving exam in 28 days.

go to therapy, honestly, sounds like you're depressed.
Green_Goblin7 t1_j6mo7s9 wrote
This sounds horrible! Sorry you had to go through that. Another tip I’d like to add is to call with a different phone, because the bank’s tel number could be rerouted to the scammers. I’ve heard of it happening on the news.

It’s amazing no company has made a reasonable cost self balancing ladder. Seems like a very simple problem given all we can do these days.
