I never got a drivers' license until my mid-30s. I am originally from a European place where driving was not essential. Even after, I only experienced a short ~3 years when I had to drive (after moving to the US). And later, I found myself a way to escape that challenge (driving) again when I moved to where I live now.

Speaking of mechanical learning skills... I could not learn to ride a bike in my childhood. My parents bought a bike, dad tried to teach me, to no avail. The bike rotted in our yard. I kinda learned to ride a bike much later, with a friend/date (when we were ~14), but it was short-lived. I still would not rent a bike or commit to learning it better. And sometimes the fact that my parents bought a bike for me, tried to teach me, I failed, etc... is what I remember when I face these virtual inabilities. I am definitely better with computers, other gadgets, softwares, programming... much better than than the "programming" in my youth.
Thanks for this!
