[HPforGrownups] Driver's ED

  Anyway, I was just thinking: Where do wizards learn how to drive? Do ones who 
  want to drive take classes with muggles or are their other wizards who teach 
  it? It just seems like an odd thing for them to learn since they can just fly 
  or apparrate, but Arthur Weasley, Fred, George, and Ron and those Ministry 
  wizards can drive a car. Also, why can Mr. Weasley do something as 
  complicated as drive a car, but he needs Harry to help him figure out how to 
  use a 'feletone'? 


  OK, two points ; 

  1 - In the UK, there is no driver's Ed in school. We have to either learn with someone we know or pay a driving instructor to teach us. There should be driver's ed, though, IMNSHO. 

  2 - Perhaps the point is that because the feletone is a means of communication which requires different skills, verbal skills, rather than physical ones like driving. Therefore it is not necssarily easy for someone who has never used a phone to know how best to communicate using one.
