we had a drivers ed class in HS but literally all of us had already been driving for a while before then (and i taught my four-year-younger sister to drive)
omg so my neighbors dad bought an old ford tempo with a 2nd brake and decided to run a "school" out of the local church
I don't know if he found them at the church but I stg he showed us those old 50s "driving with death" safety videos that show charred corpses and stuff
1. Instructor should make you feel calm, put you at ease. 2.Some students more anxious than others, so keep that in mind. 3. Avoid doing 5-hour course before starting driving lessons.
If you're not meshing (or learning, grasping) with instructor by end of 3rd lesson, request another. Don't suffer.
aw man, all my close friends are long distance now so i end up getting driven around by my dad, a family friend, and on rare occasions an uber, but public transit is my lifeline atp tbh
i did drivers ed when i was 16 or 17. passed my written learners test perfectly and did in-car lessons with an instructor, and then my parents never took me driving for the required practice hours so i just never went for a road test 😭😭 so i’ve still just got my learners lmfao
I’ve been driving since I was like 10 because we have a family ranch LMAO. My grandpa let me drive the truck around the land, but I was allowed on the roads at 14 with a permit in TX & my mom mostly taught me. However at 16 when I got my full license I went to a driving school to be “formal”
