    No it isn’t, the consequence of failure is just higher. Cars are stupid easy to drive

      Depends if you’re just focusing on the act of driving vs driving on any given road in any given country. Road rules are different, shapes of cars are different, there’s auto and manual etc.

      No. No they are not.

      Unless you’re driving competitively on a dedicated track, you aren’t centred in a car, which is disorienting.

      Also, large areas of your field of view are blocked by metal sheets in a car. Combine that with the aforementioned disorientation and it’s an awkward, confusing design that you just have to struggle with until you get used to it.

      Then there’s the gears. In a bike, you just need to flick a switch to change gear. In a car, you have to do a whole dance with two pedals and a lever. And also the clutch sometime is a brake but not quite? The clutch does a whole lot of random things which make sense to engineers but nobody will ever explain them to a learner driver.

      Driving a car is fucking hard. There’s a reason you need to pass a test before they’ll even let you practice.

        You can make anything sound hard if you decide you want to. That doesn’t make it so
