I cant really answer your question, but I think it works both ways! I learnt to drive in a large town (that I was familiar with) with lots of traffic and main roads and roundabouts, and yet, I hate the country roads here! Im a real dual carriageway/motorway driver! On the other hand, my husband loves country roads and the lack of traffic here.
My mum learnt to drive in Thurso in the days before traffic lights were in the town, and although she spent most of her adult life in a larger town, she wasnt what I would call a confident driver - she loved coming "home" to drive the roads she knew!
