      @@chickeyy1792 I don't think I paid near £1'000 to get my UK car licence. Less than 20 lessons, maybe as little as 12-13 at £20 ish each, and sitting the written and practical portions of the test were less than £100 each from what I can recall, could be quite significantly less than that too but I can't remember the exact values.
      I'd imagine the first level motorbike licence in the UK would be similarly 'affordable'.
      I think HGV licence levels cost something like £2'000-3'000 each, and an artic licence is third in a sequence you have to go through, so quite a lot more expensive than it is for Alex to get a car and motorbike licence in the UK at least.
      I know what you mean though, like Germany where a minimum number of lessons are required on all types of roads etc to get a licence, so spending less than 1'000 euros on lessons is impossible.

    On a more real world note - I had a motorbike only, no car, for 9 straight years and in that time I used public transport less than 5 times.
    With the use of a tank bag it was great for general purpose commuting, going to work, visiting friends etc and I could always carry a backpack worth of stuff in front of me, like change of clothes if it was raining or takeaway after going through a drivethrough.
    If I needed more, like grocery shopping I'd throw on the soft saddlebags which can hold 2 full green fabric bags worth (or a 30 pack of coke cans in each side with millimeters to spare).
    Even did some touring/camping occasionally and could hold a week worth of clothes, food and even a swag (roll up mattress in a canvas sleeping bag type thing).
    It wasn't always convenient, but got the job done.
    This was all on a 2000 Honda VFR800, which is a semi-upright sport touring bike.

      @@adventure_F0x There are assholes in the car world too. I'm 17 but am heavily into both cars and bikes. I daily drove a bike from March to October of 2018 and tried my absolute best not to be a jerk, I'd stay near speed limits, not lane split, and I'd do my best to make people smile or laugh. Gear wise, I paid $40 on gloves and $260 on a helmet but the most of a jacket I bothered to wear was a hoodie or two. Get to know the individual, don't stereotype everyone.
