Driving

DRIVING...Is it a necessity or not? Well the answer would be it depends on where you are. Just like in the Philippines, it's not really that much necessity because there are lots of other public transportations you can take like taxis, jeepneys, buses, tricycles, etc. You can go anywhere and anytime you want because such transportations are everywhere. It's even so much expensive to own a car so most people there can't afford to have one so what's the use of learning how to drive when you can't have a car to use right? That's a pretty simple logic. But for other countries like United States wherein you can only have few public transportations to choose from then basically knowing how to drive is a big necessity. Why I said that? Because I experienced it. I don't know how to drive a car before so it's hard for me to go anywhere and anytime I want. There are even jobs wherein the employers required you to have your own reliable transportation and valid driver's license. So even you might be qualified with other basis but for sure you can't meet such requirement since you don't know how to drive. Technically you will not be hired unless they will consider your situation and will hire you even without meeting such thing. That's the case of not knowing how to drive in a country like United States.

Therefore, I strongly recommend for those who want or are planning to come to United States, you better learn how to drive while you are still in your country. It might be much cheaper to do it there because it will cost you atleast $400 plus to enroll in a driving class here. It is also much easier to do it there since it needs to have a good weather to be safe in learning how to drive. You can't practice driving when it's snowing because the road will be so slippery. You still need to wait to have a good weather or it's summertime to practice driving to make sure the road is safe to drive on. Better take this advice seriously if you want or plan to come here in the U.S. or in other country wherein driving is a necessity so you will not experience what happened to me.
