how can i learn to drive without killing myself?
i have several constraints around me, some seems solvable but others seems kinda messed up:

1. no vehicle?? my family owns just one scooter with a 125cc engine that my father takes for his job.
solution : i can buy another vehicle , i got finances.

2. problem of keeping? : living in the world's 2nd most populous country, we had to fight worse battles with our neighbours to get the parking of 1 small 2 wheeler. we might get another one somewhere for another 2 wheeler, but anything bigger than that, and I don't know if it could fit.
solution : ???

3. what to buy? cars are usually most preferable since they are made for multiple people travel. but bike riding is a good skill and bikes can cut through traffic pretty easily. light scooters are also very good as they are easy to balance and cheap, but some highways don't allow them as they can't reach the std 80-90 kmph speed limits
solution??

4. my history of shitty driving and how to get better? we have this scooter in our family for last 4 years (and a few before those that my father used , but this was the firs vehicle that i bought ) , but i haven't been able to get better at it. i can surely ride it myself and drive it at slow speeds without someone sitting on the backseat, but if there is someone at the back, then my hand shakes and the backseat person will be shit scared. i also failed my driving license test, and it will he awkward to buy a new vehicle of I can't properly learn it /use it on daily basis
solution : ???

5. why buy? i never really had a use for it. my college was 90kms away from my home and required train+bus+auto travelling for 2 hours on highways.
and now my work is from home. i sometimes think that my lack of necessity has also caused me not to learn this skill properly
solution : ??

i really wanna learn this skill and be seen as a more maturw reliable person but everything around it seems confusing.

    Maybe just buy a horn and start honking. That's what driving in India is about, right?

    Jokes aside, were your hands shaking because you were nervous or because the handlebars were shaking? If it's the latter, getting a car should fix that. Unless you buy one with a shaking wheel, lol.

    I'm perplexed how anyone survives traffic in India.

    Correct me if I’m wrong but how does knowing how to drive a car make you any more mature ?

    Reliable, well if you need to take people somewhere I guess ? You said it yourself you work from home, you have no space to park said car… why even bother ?

    I’ve always found it more of a hassle to have to drive somewhere rather than taking the train or a similar public transport.

    I have some very mature friends from N.Y that have never used a motor vehicle. I have some very moronic 17 years old in my city that think that they should all strive for being Dom torretto on the streets. Knowing how to drive does not make you a more mature and reliable person, if you can't and specially if you do not want it then you do not have to man.

    Don't bring yourself down for shit like this.

    @Earu @AleCx04 having efficiency in driving is helpful in good and bad times, like of someone needs to be immediately transported to hospital. maturity does not really have a correlation with driving, but since a person knowing how to drive can help in getting things from the distance, or reaching different places that otherwise would have been avoided, they are often regarded as more mature and self sufficient than someone who needs a chariot everytime they put their feets outside their cradle

    @here how did you guys end up getting good in driving? 99.9% people that i know who know how to drive, it was because they had a reason to take out their vehicle out everyday

    @dotenvironement heh not sure if I agree with this, to me self sufficient is different than maturity. Other than that is grabbing a Uber / Taxi not an option where you live ? I don’t want to sound negative but having a car without parking space is like dead weight pretty much

    @Earu taxi business is more of a hobby activity in my area than a means of livelihood . uber drivers accepts the request , then call again to ask the place to go/pickup / mode of payment, and if they don't like it, they cancel
