I taught myself in 2 hours. Stick too and with YouTube on my phone on the dash. Parents went to church and saw it as my chance to learn
You can do it :)

If you're unable to write it down (e.g. you have a good idea while driving) say it out loud! You're more likely to remember something if you say it aloud. Obviously, writing it down is the best but this is a good alternative if needed.

Reply to LPT: Don't break out small or corner windows if you lock your keys in your car. by Bailmage
Here's the real LPT: copy your key today and use a piece of wire to attach it under the vehicle, or somewhere inconspicuous.
If it's a newer vehicle, you'll also need hide your spare fob somewhere in the vehicle with it turned of or with the battery removed.
If you don't have a spare, it's far less expensive to buy one online and program it yourself or call around and have a local locksmith do it in their shop.
You never know when or where you could be locked out. Don't assume roadside or AAA is nearby or that you will have a working cellphone/service. It could be the difference between making it to work, an important event, or saving yourself and passengers from exposure to inclement weather.
Spending $50-$75 today could turn out to be exceptionally beneficial, and it will only make your car more valuable should you decide to sell it.

You can learn to pass the exam in 28 days if you get a good instructor, learning how to actually drive… that’s gonna be different.
Also, why would you even get a date for your exam if you have no experience?

i wrote stuff down on a legal pad. i rarely left my desk without it because i would often be stopped and asked for something (i was the data and reports guy on a floor with several hundred people)
i crossed stuff out when done or add a short note if it was a work in progress and i had taken an action or was waiting for someone
every few days i would transfer all the open items to a new page with the date at the top, prioritizing as i did so.
i may not have been the best and brightest data and reports person but i would have to be asked for something only once, while others with jobs similar to mine who didn't write stuff would have to be reminded again and again
now, there were some people who would ask for stuff without thinking it through, or really needing it. i would ask them to send me an email request, and asking them to put that little bit of work into making their request often ended it.

Reply to comment by Potterco24 in LPT: Is it possible to learn how to drive in 28 days? by SuperDuperMarvel7
The average time needed behind a wheel to pass successfully is 45hours.
I don't see how what OP is asking is dangerous at all. Please explain.

I couldn't remember anything I needed to do growing up. Now as an adult. I put anything I need to do in my calendar. I would be lost without it.

Reply to [LPT] Do not buy a gift card if it comes with same value as the money that was paid for it. by an0nym0us11
You should buy gift cards if you know they like a certain kind of thing. Like a gift card for a weekend away somewhere, or a gift card to spend in a music shop. That way it's way more personal than just money and you will be sure that they will spend it on something they will really enjoy.

Reply to comment by Beautiful_Tour_5542 in LPT: While cussing may feel good, it feels distracting for your conversation partner and detracts from the effectiveness of your communication. Try to use descriptive, clean words. You will come across as much more understandable and respectable. by [deleted]
