first time posting here, just wanted to throw a couple of questions around
so for context, im 23. currently on my driving Ls, but do not have access in pretty much any capacity to a consistent way to get my hours up. living out of home, check to check, so paid lessons are out of the question. no one i know is fully licensed and also capable of taking me driving consistently.
basically everything that COULD work against me, has/is, my back is really against the wall here. needing to rely on public transport daily is becoming tiresome. then I started looking into a bike license…realising it only takes a two day course to get your Ls, ive been heavily considering it.
im well aware of the risks that come along with being on a bike/scooter vs a car. going into it, im completely aware I’ll have to make sacrifices, spend money on gear, get post license training etc. but i really, REALLY need a mode of transport for myself, just to get from A to B (work, gym, occasional shop run).
would it be worth it, in my case, to invest in bike training? i have roughly 30 hours of driver training, so im not dim to the rules of the road. definitely a ways away from being a qualified driver, but i know enough to not be an idiot on the road.
i guess im making this post just for some solidarity above all else because i had to get it off my chest. if you guys have any good bike/scooter recs for learners, or any general tips, words of wisdom etc, feel free to lay it on me. im beyond willing to expand and learn. thank you for listening
