Depends on the country you live in. Legally gift cards can’t expire in Canada. The only ones that break that rule is prepare Visa/MC cards.

Points can’t expire for reward programs either, like Air Miles.

It's so important, you wrote it down twice!

If driving automatic you could learn in a week IMO. If manual, give it a few weeks to get comfortable with shifting and not stalling...

Depends where you are, as to whether this is available near enough to you, but I learnt in a week using an intensive driving course. 6-7 hours driving per day. Cost a bunch, though not much different to the equivalent number of hours booked separately over a long period.

I know people who have traveled to a city and stayed in a hotel to do this in a similar timeframe as part of a group.

It was stressful, and needed to have passed the theory test upfront, which along with wait times for that and the practical test may make a month from now a bit impractical, but maybe where you are you'll be lucky.

How old are you? Just curious. You still have your wits about you.

Yes.You can learn to past the test for sure.

However, you won't be a "good" driver until you've had more experience.

That's what I do. I'd be completely lost without my calendar.

If I was my current age before smartphones, I would be the person with the big planner book.

If I don't write it down, it does not exist lol

On the flip side, when I'm giving someone directions and they're not writing it down, I begin to expect they will forget something of what I asked them to do. It typically pans out that way.

Im pretty sure you can get week long intensive courses that should do the trick!

Pro tip: AAA used to be able to make a plastic dummy key for your car that won’t start the engine but will get you through the door to get your keys you left inside. Just have to keep it in your wallet or purse. It came in handy a few times while driving my old Camry.

If you don’t have a physical key to your car but a key fob don’t break the window. Thankfully you can just open the door as normal as the chip is close enough to the car that it will sense it and open it just like it would if it was on the outside

I disagree with this LPT.

It might not even matter if you remember where the note is. The simple act of writing things down has been demonstrated to improve your chance of remembering the content later. Research shows that adding a sensory component to information greatly improves the ability to recall that particular memory. Writing information down adds two sensory cues to the memory: visual and tactile.

Not to worry you, but as a 13 year old 10 years ago I spoofed my number regularly :d

It's so common, there's a law forbidding spoofed numbers to show in my country

Limit yourself to 1 personal story per 30 minutes. Then really focus on not over sharing for that 1 story. Make it manageable.

Or, stare at specific thing in your present view which you know that you will see later, such as your external doorknob, the shoes you will put on in the morning, your toothbrush, your gas cap, etc. Say, "when I see this again I will remember ______.’

It works.

I've learned this lesson the hard way too may times. And continue to learn it all the time. Maybe I should write it down...

As a standup comedian who is constantly thinking of new stuff to laugh at just from talking to myself. These are really words to live by

I would expand on this to say even if you are young and do tend to remember, there will come a day when you won't. Develop good habits now.

This post has Chidi Anagonye energy.

Yes. Florida requires 40 hours of driving time, which gets you pretty qualified. The real challenge is getting a driving instructor on board with your excellerated timeline. There's also the written test. Read the manual two or three times (slow read, reading all the illustration captions and all. Not speed read.)

Can’t believe I had to scroll this far. This thread sums up why the roads are a nightmare

I see people who have been driving for years who havent still learned how to drive yet. You'll be fine just practice for a few days with somebody near where you'll be taking your test.

I think it depends on the testing in your local area. Where I live you could probably learn to drive well enough to pass the test in one or two days.
