    No. No they are not.

    Unless you’re driving competitively on a dedicated track, you aren’t centred in a car, which is disorienting.

    Also, large areas of your field of view are blocked by metal sheets in a car. Combine that with the aforementioned disorientation and it’s an awkward, confusing design that you just have to struggle with until you get used to it.

    Then there’s the gears. In a bike, you just need to flick a switch to change gear. In a car, you have to do a whole dance with two pedals and a lever. And also the clutch sometime is a brake but not quite? The clutch does a whole lot of random things which make sense to engineers but nobody will ever explain them to a learner driver.

    Driving a car is fucking hard. There’s a reason you need to pass a test before they’ll even let you practice.

      You can make anything sound hard if you decide you want to. That doesn’t make it so
