Banned because driving is easy. It's stopping is hard.
But seriously, my first driving lesson, my uncle took me to an empty parking lot on a Sunday afternoon and all he had me do for 20 straight minutes was practice using the break. The car never got above 5 MPH and he have me practice moving my foot from gas to break.
As he explained it, to me, "Our natural instinct when we are speeding towards an object in a car as a passenger is to brace ourselves for the impact, but if a driver does this, he ends up increasing speed because his foots on the wrong petal to slow the car." He said I had to retrain my mind to automatically move my foot from the accelerator to the break. "Once you learn to stop, you're good to go," was his slogan.
We went to that parking lot three Sundays in a row and at the end of the third, he let me drive us home. After that, every lesson was just him sitting next to me as I drove the two of us around.
