question
translation meaning
What is the meaning of あまり in this dialogue?
This あまり does mean "(not) very" or "(not) really", as found in [these
examples](http://www.jgram.org/pages/viewOne.php?tagE=amari-2).

あまりうまくはないですけど literally means "Although I'm not _very_ good (at driving)",
which already implies "Yes I can drive" without actually saying it.
