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

      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
