Driving is dead easy.
What's not easy, however, is dealing with severe stupid on the road. People regularly merge without looking, swing across several lanes, slow down without warning, cut others off, speed through yellow lights, make a right turn when they don't have the right away just because they think they're clear but they really aren't. Honestly though if you have any basic motor skills with your right foot and a working pair of eyeballs, driving is easy. It didn't take me much longer than 2-3 months to have the confidence to drive on large highways. With that in mind, though, road rage is real - if you have back roads, use them. Scenic routes are beautiful and they save you from dealing with with the twit who can't decide on a lane.
