Not really. When Dad got a new car and my older sister showed an interest at about age 11, he explained how it worked, showed her the Hh pattern, and all of us kids learned it immediately. My brother and I were about 5, it was like a game. So when we were ready to drive it was no mystery. Coordinating hand, feet, eyes, clutch, brake, steering ... Yeah, that took a little practice, lol! But not that long. A couple hours maybe. Harder on the instructor than the student for sure.

So one day and then you guys could drive on the road?

Oof, be safe! Hope your garden (and everything else!) pulls through okay, know you have worked hard on it!

Oh, no. We could manage the car in a parking lot with no other cars or distractions. Takes a lot of practice to put that together with other cars, traffic signals, pedestrians, figuring out where you want to go, noise, lane changes, etc. That all takes judgment, responses, alertness, focus, concentration. So LOTS of practice. In the parking lot. Around the block. Quiet, safe places. More challenging places. Gulp, highways! And so forth. Six months of that then you take the driving test.

I am remembering not only my own experience but recently helping my GirlChild get her license.

Thats scary Jane, How bad are you expecting it there?

It takes time to be comfortable on the road, other traffic coming at you , the freeway ect..

Was it like that for you guys or did you just jump in and take off? Maybe I'm overly cautious.
