Do you remember when you first learned how to drive?

At home I had to learn with my parents' crappy Dodge Grand Caravan which handled like a bus, had bad brakes, poor rear visibility, and power locks that would go crazy like the van was possessed lol.

There was really no other option though, because our other vehicle was an old Volvo wagon with no power steering which would have made it even worse.

For Driver's Ed though, my high school had Ford Taurus's which were a way better vehicle to practice in.

Oh yes... The start wasn't too bad. It felt quite powerful driving slowly on empty streets in the middle of nowhere. But I also remember getting so sweaty driving 50mph for the first time, my hand slipped off the gear stick. 😅

I never understood learning to drive with your parents in their car though. Getting behind the wheel with an unqualified teacher without their own breaks and acceleration seems incredibly unsafe.
