Teach me how to drive

[waxie]

For the past 22 years, I have managed to get by without knowing how to drive. I live in a major city, so I have pretty much mastered taking public transportation. I (sadly) have to get a licence and a car for my new job. I hired a guy to give me lessons and I am confident that I will past the test to get my licence. However, I would love to know any and all secrets that people have learned about driving.

Ready...Set....Go!
