Taking driving lessons feels like being a kid pushed around in a pram (a "stroller")

Random strangers - other drivers who i don't know - are always beaming smiling towards me as if to go "aww, so cute! Little baby's first steps." It's like being driven past loads of gawking and amazing strangers when your parents take you out in a push-chair

I'm not sure if it's because they're genuinely trying to be nice or if they're just amused by the pun-name on my instructors car.

And yes, enough people were smiling at me in this surprising but non-offensively patronising manner for me to post about it. Anyone else experienced this, perchance? Maybe it's just because I drive slow, but i think I'm already at normal speed.
