Ah those were the days. I took my test in a borrowed Nash Rambler convertible. Clutch with 3 on the tree. I even used hand signals for extra points. Things are so much different today. We had drivers ed in high school and our instructor even took us to an empty parking lot and taught us defensive driving with obstacles and a wet pad for sliding control.
And no one stayed home then. That license was freedom. It was however also a payh to early death for some careless idiots and their victims. We all knew someone.

@Gibbon They can be very dangerous driving on ice or snowy roads. Had a young girl (teen or college age) driving my way one morning to work when there was ice on the road, she was sliding from one side of the road to the other as she was headed my way. Finally got it straightened out. I hate to drive in those conditions and will stay home unless it’s urgent that I be somewhere. So happy to be retired now and have that choice.

@cherokeepatti 💯 I'm thankful for the same reasons. I've driven through many icey and heavy snow conditions. Had my share of close calls and witnessed horrific accidents. I'm thankful for the skills I was taught and never involved. Now I just witness on the news.

@Sutten When my older sister came home after passing her test she threw herself down on the bed and cried (hysteronics, which she was good at). When my younger sister passed her driving test she came home and threw herself down on the bed and boo-hooed that she had failed the test (turned left out of the parking lot first thing after the tester asked her to turn right, he told her to turn around at the next drive and go back to the testing headquarter building..because she was so nervous that she couldn’t understand instructions). When I came home after passing my test first attempt I said “I passed the test”…no hysteronics. The boy was about the same way as me.
