только мне одному "забрался за руль" звучит странно?

I don’t know - I didn’t write this, I got it from a story.

We also say CLIMBED BEHIND THE WHEEL

I know you didn't write it. Since Russian speakers didn't respond perhaps it's just me.

Maybe they haven’t seen it.

By the way, once you told me that you get some kind of notifications when someone posts a comment. I've never seen those. Is it only for users with gold medal status?
or is it only when you use LL app? how does it work?

I only get notifications when someone posts a translation to one of my posts.

to one of your posts or to one of your translations?

When I ASK for translations and someone posts one.

ah, so there no way to be notified on the thread of comments? if so, then it makes it hard to follow conversations. looks like we would need to keep the post opened and refresh the comments which is too cumbersome. (unless i'm missing something)

Yes, you should see a badge (red circle with a number) when someone comments on a thread you’re on.

wait, so I should see a badge even if I didn't originate the post but was only commenting?

absolutely

do you see the badge using LL app on your mobile device or in computer browser? or in both?
