you prejudge peoples' likely actions based on the type of car and their observed driving habits. I've avoided dozens of accidents that way.
I wish I'd thought to mention this, because it's absolutely true: especially when it pertains to BMWs and the people that drive them (in my own completely anecdotal experience). I almost always drive faster than the posted limit, but if there's one type of car to come up out of nowhere, ride my ass like they were glued on, and then cut me off... it's a beemer.

Seriously? Why? At 13 you should have had some awareness of the danger you were posing to others

Probably just a difference in perspective. Kids sneaking a vehicle for a jor ride is pretty common.

Isn't it traditional to fail your first test? Or is that just around here?

It's rare to pass on the first try here. (according to driving instructor)

Also, you can tell when there's someone around the corner, because of the headlights.

It's more pronounced and important in the countryside where there are no streetlights.

I found driving nervewracking until I got to do it by myself. NZ has a great system, IMO.

No. But it is true that my risk aversion coefficient is too high.
