I studied hard for months to pass my driver's test first time I took it in Germany when we were stationed there in the 80's. It was tough! When we came back to the States I had to get on here. I was horrified at how easy it was. Even the motorcycle license I got later was easy compared to what I had overseas. I remember the complex roundabout scenarios with train tracks and pedestrian crosswalks being very demanding to navigate. We had to be good driver's to stay alive on those narrow streets and complex situations. If you made a mistake, and survived, other drivers let you know about it quickly. The incompetent and passive aggressive drivers here are a constant stressor while I try to keep my family safe. Eco driving keeps me on my toes and keeps long trips from becoming boring too. Its fun and helps me keep me calm in the mess I have to drive in most days.
