    Luca joined Young Car Driver while he was still learning to drive. He documented everything — from booking the theory test to figuring out how much private practice is too much.

    Now that he’s passed, he continues to contribute honest, practical content — especially focused on the emotional side of learning, like confidence, nerves, and staying motivated.
