Absolutely. Sign up for student driving school if you can afford it (check with your car insurance too - sometimes you can get a discount on your premium for a few months by completing driving school). I did one in-person class, and about one afternoon of studying for the written test. My driving course was completed in three behind-the-wheel sessions. The first session was to learn the basics. The second session was to learn how to navigate freeways, roundabouts, etc, and the third lesson was to teach tricky things like parallel parking. My driving school was partnered with my state’s dept of transportation, so my driving test was tacked onto my last driving lesson. The instructor didn’t even tell me when the test started, we were just driving around and he was having me do things and then he said “congrats you just passed your driving test.”

Yeah, happened to me last year. I was asleep, phone woke me up.. was groggy, not paying attention. Questioning a Capital One charge, but wanted me to confirm my six digit code, which right under says: We will never ask for this. Just wasn't in the headspace. Went back to sleep, two minutes later, wait a minute? Raced to the computer, still had money so I drained my bank account to my fathers. They managed to get like $190 out still, probably trying for more but I had a few holds from depositing money, lol. Live and learn. TD Bank was unsupportive so I closed my account with them.

I learned how to drive well enough to get a perfect score on the test and then drive the first time across the country in a 27 foot moving van alone. I actually drove just five or six times beforehand and had less than three hours of practice.

You'll do fine. If 80 year old men who drive with their turn signal on at all times except when turning can keep their license, you can pass too.
