But driving on a road with other cars is a completely different story, you only really learn how to do that when you're on your own. I've had so many near misses, thankfully none of them were my fault, but they really knock some sense into...well not me but anyone with a regard for their life. I've had 3 trucks try and merge straight into me when I've been in their left blindspot; and being that my father drives one I am a lot more aware of them than most people - it only takes seconds. I've had someone try to change into...well me...on the Eastern Freeway doing 100kmph. All sorts of things come up and its all up to how you react, you cannot be taught that - you learn.
My driving instructor constantly covered the mirror and then asked me the colour of the car behind me to show me the importance of knowing whats around you, I pretty much never knew. Now if he asked me I could tell him the car the model and how fast they were going in relation to me and thats just something I learned having driven on my own. When you're out of your protective bubble you really learn whats what
