Polish is pretty cool.

Cool, yes, but completely bonkers when trying to read it and comprehending it from a Western viewpoint. Also, check out the wicked accent on a Polish person.

It's impressive to say the least. Especially when compared to my Yooper/Northern Michigan accent which almost comes out garbled and mangled.

Indeed.

Mother didn't get her license until she was 29 or 30, I think.

It's not so bad. Theory's the hardest part, and rightfully so. Everything slides into place and becomes second nature with practice. It's vigilance for potential hazards you just have to keep in your head.

I'm fine until I get on the motorway. Suggested speed limits spark some primal über-competitive streak.
