Even those that have failed a theory test and practical exam hundreds of times still want to learn to drive and see the value of being able to, even if it has cost thousands already.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Driving is a lifelong skill<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Learn to drive and you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve acquired a skill that is for life. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s like riding a bike, once you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve done it, you never forget. Granted driving a car is a little more complex, but once you have a licence it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s yours, you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have to do another theory test or practical exam again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Even if it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s years before you can afford a car, your driving licence will still be valid 3, 4 and even 10 years on [then you have to renew it].<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Learn to drive and earn your freedom<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Learn to drive and be free of public transport, there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s nothing better. Cars can take you from door-to-door, which is great when doing long journeys. Catch a bus or train, and walking or a taxi is usually involved somewhere.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">With a car, you have the freedom to travel wherever you want, whenever you want without having to rely on a timetable and without having to share your mode of transport with sweaty people, ugh.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Even if you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t own a car, a driving licence will permit you to hire a vehicle for occasional road trips if this is more practical and economical for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Employment <\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Many job roles request that you have a driving licence.

Even if your current job doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t require you to have a licence, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s still worth pursuing one as you may want to switch jobs in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Mobility<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Live in a rural area, miles away from a train station and with a bus route that sees one bus every 90 minutes?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Learn to drive and all these problems evaporate. There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s nothing more inconvenient than living in the middle of nowhere and having to take all day to get somewhere.

A driving licence is a great, pocket-sized form of ID. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s certainly more portable than a passport, which not everyone has. Granted, you shouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t learn to drive for the sake of having ID, but it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s useful on a night out.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a one-off<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Pass your theory test and <strong><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.booktheorytesttoday.com\/book-practical-test\">practical test<\/a><\/strong> and you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re done, you never have to learn to drive again.
