how can i learn to drive

[thstone]

Kids today learn mostly from their parents who in turn likely learned from their high school PE teacher (or worse). What kids need is professional driving instruction.

Street survival schools are barely a start in the right direction.

Find a track day organizer that allows under 18 yr old drivers (a few were mentioned above) and do a few track days with an instructor in the car. You'll learn how to do everything better (steer, brake, and accelerate) which will translate into being a much better driver on the street.
