What's the first step in learning how to drive (after studying the manual)?

Due to COVID, my state allowed me to get my license right after passing my written exam. I didn't have to take the road test at all. I literally have never been behind the wheel, so I don't know where to start. I'm fine with everything in the manual; I just need to learn how to handle the car now.

    It looks like a lot of people like you came to California with a license and no driving skill. Now, you need to get someone to teach you how to drive. It can be a friend or family member with time and patience to show you how the car works and ride with you as you practice and they criticize your mistakes so you don't destroy things and maintain bad habits.

    You still need to follow all the rules. Go to your DMV website, review all the student / teen driving regulations and follow them. If you're under 18 you still need to have someone ride with you for 50 hours who is licensed and over age 21 who can teach you how to drive. If you don't know anyone, then you'll have to hire a driving instructor. You  then need to have a parent or legal guardian certify that you've received 50 behind-the-wheel hours using the proper DMV form.  The only thing different now is that you won't have to take the road test, unless you dawdle for so long that they drop the COVID-19  changes and go back to requiring road tests.
