Hades's incorporeal monologue gives that title to Pit though.
If you're scared of driving that makes you less likely to hurt someone or yourself while doing it because you won't drive like a dipshit.

We were fooled by the Rorouni Kenshin movies into thinking that Japan could make a good live-action adaptation of a shonen.
That's a good point. I guess I can handle it.
It's the other people though... so many just don't know how to drive properly.
Nothing you can do about them, so assume every other driver and pedestrian is a gibbering lunatic and take that into account when driving.
Might want to practice in your residential area before you go in the streets.
Fro what I've seen, most of the Japanese actors are improvements look wise on the characters they are playing in the AoT movie *shrugs*
I'm not sure you can realistically expect them to find actors of Anglo-Saxon descent who live in Japan and are fluent in Japanese to play these roles.

*lives in the middle of nowhere* yeah thats not an option for me lol
Be a cautious driver, I promise you, its harder to hit people than you think. Just be liberal with braking? :3
(Aka its smarter to break an extra 5 seconds early and more gradually vs braking fast)
Basically when I was 13, I was hit by a car, and 7 months later I was in an accident. Kind of freaked me out for a long time.
I got help, walked everywhere and got rides.
Now i want to learn.

Just don't freak out and you'll be fine.
Also, get someone that isn't a relative to teach you how to drive.

Damn. I'm sorry to hear that happened to you, BD.
At least you're confident enough now to want to learn how to drive.
Considering I live in a college town, I'm used to street being rather busy at times. It's just the winter that's annoying since I live in the country, near the border of town, which means the roads are more slippery/icy until I get into town where the roads are more clear.
Growing up in Iowa, getting a license was really easy personally. Simply take an 8(?) week class where you meet once a week for a lecture. Each weekend the instructor had me drive down various highways and country roads for a few hours. We talked about whatever we wanted to during the driving. We basically took roadtrips to various locations, like through a German heritage city/town and such. Not many big cities in Iowa (although there was of course some city driving too).
And then you get your license, no test.
Now that I live in Atlanta, I'm now used to high traffic driving too, lol.

Hollywood,.....California?
Yep. I'm often paying way more attention to whatever in listening to than on the actual mechanics of driving. Speeding up, slowing down, watching the road - its line breathing - your always doing it, but pay it no mind

Shots fired.
When I was learning how to drive, I was in a traffic accident where my car (a Ford Fiesta) was hit by a Chevy Z71 pick up truck. Because I was a kid (15) and only had my temps, I was cited for the accident and didn't want to drive for an entire month. I was practically forced to by my family and I eventually got over that trauma through some persistence and learning to drive a manual transmission.
The point here is that you shouldn't let past trauma get in the way of doing anything. Find a friend or family member if it's an option and just start driving. Make sure to follow whatever your states guidelines are beforehand for getting an actual driver's license and then get out there and drive. Just take it all at your own pace and comfort level and you'll quickly pick it up.
Well Dipper, you're not old enough to drive, but you'll get there one day!
I don't know much about Los Angeles traffic, but I know that here in Houston, the traffic is just riddled with accidents. I have to get on campus practically at least two hours beforehand just so I can avoid any potential random crashes on the Southwest side. Even taking alternate routes take forever too.

And it's still as much of a phenomenon as it was when it began.
