Getting My License

About this episode

Rylan Banis shares his humorous and challenging journey of learning to drive as an adult, detailing the unexpected twists and turns along the way.

For the first 23 years of my life, I had never driven a vehicle. Then I decided to get both my bike and car license, and what I expected to be a straightforward process somehow turned into a full-blown saga. From choosing a driving school and studying hundreds of learner's license questions, to dealing with RTO bureaucracy, failing my bike test spectacularly, accidentally turning on windshield wipers during my car test, obsessively practicing figure eights, and eventually surviving a redemption retest, this journey had way more plot twists than I anticipated. In this episode, I'm basically reliving the entire experience, sharing the mistakes, frustrations, funny moments, and lessons learned along the way while thinking out loud about what it actually feels like to learn driving as an adult.
