I gave up after 7 driving lessons in London, when I was 17 due finance problem that's time I got a new apartment... It's hardly to cope with driving school expense and rent a new apartment on the same time... I decided to quit until my finance does improve... but I never thought about live in Germany when I met and married to a German.
After live in Germany in 1985, I decide to not need a car because my hubby can drive everywhere with me... and I can get a bus to work during bad weather and ride a bicycle to work during good weather until happened in 1991... The rumor goes for years to move caserne where we work to other caserne which is long way... bad bus connection... so I applied for driving lesson... They gave me driving theory book then I have to take driving theory examination. It took me year to study on driving theory... until the official in 1992 that we have to move from the caserne where we work to other caserne in 8 months time... It's great because I already studied on driving theory one year before... then I am able to take driving lesson... I applied for driving school for the Deaf, that's time I was 3 months pregnant with first child. I stayed at pension and go to driving school for the Deaf for 4 whole weeks... until I passed both driving theory examination and driving test then finally got my first driving liescne when I was 29 years old and 3 months pregnant... After pass both driving theory and driving test, I bought a car from my boss's daughter for a good price... 
Unfortunlately, the caserne where we work will move to other caserne this year which is near my home... which mean that I do not need a car... It takes me 15 to 20 minutes to ride a bicycle to work during good weather... If bad weather, then use a car... only 5 to 7 minutes drive...
