Will have to start driving soon though as you literally can't walk anywhere here, they don't have sidewalks or pedestrian crossings or anything. I find the whole thing very intimidating though I hear the US test is easier than UK, is that true?
I was a non driver for similar reasons, I've had a go at driving here though and will do the test soon after Christmas so my hopefully my insurance rate will be lower. So far though it's much easier than in the UK but maybe that's because I drive an automatic here.

I'm slightly worried by the test though as everyone seems to think that there's no emergency stop, no reverse parking and no reversing around corners. It sounds too good to be true.

I did have to reverse around a corner, but there was no parallel parking (thank God, coz I would have failed if there was) and no emergency stop either. And it was over in 10 mins. It really isn't that bad.
