In NYC I know plenty of people who learned in their 30s and 40s, and many driving schools have lessons for adult learners. If you really want to learn, go for it! You’re not too old.

Exactly.. we are in NYC, so never really need to use it until we go out of the city (which my SO covers)... So just always lack the motivation to start learning..

It’s super easy, I’m sure you’d get the hang of it quickly! Most of driving is just about driving slow enough to not get into an accident lol

Nah, you’re fine. I didn’t learn until I was 22 and only did it because I had no choice

My husband did not start driving until he was in his early thirties and we moved to suburbs. We lived in NYC and he did not feel compelled to learn as we had no car and when we went away, I would drive a rental. Nobody paid any attention to him when he signed up for driving lessons, nobody really cares how old you are. I do not think you are too old to learn now, you are going to be perfectly fine. Do it if you want to or need to drive.

Husband didn’t start driving until 35. It’s not unheard of.

Most people keep driving into their 80s. You have at least 50 years of driving ahead of you even if you start now!

You're never too old to pass your test. Get those lessons booked in ASAP - sooner the better. Being able to drive yourself around gives you an immense amount of freedom and flexibility.

If you're not learning something new every week wyd?

No big deal. I'm 28 and don't know how to drive or swim. Only option is walking.

I’m 23 and learning now

I gave my 60 year old Aunt driving lessons. She spent her life using public transportation in NYC. Was getting ready to retire and didn't want to be stuck not going anywhere. So go for it.

I’m not confident about the system design because of the bad experience I had with the previous interviewer. What should I do?

Significant other was at a company function and her coworker sexually assaulted her on numerous occasions. The most intrusive infraction (his hand up her skirt at the bar) was intervened. A complaint letter is prepared by her fiancé and he intends to contact the district attorney tomorrow morning to pursue criminal intent. If charges are made and his complaint is filed with HR. Are we on the hook for not terminating his position? What happens to all parties involved?

We will ignore industry regulations, we will deny we are an employer, simply connecting people to a low cost option. We will take tens of billions in VC funding and never earn a dime. Later we will take other ideas and pretend they are ours too.
