Rather than have them come back for the makeup test, they brought them one at a time into the hallway to ask the questions the student got wrong. A few students (in my group) didn’t pass on the first try. And if someone didn’t pass, they would have to come back later for a makeup exam, where the instructor would have to be as well. In order to pass and earn our permits, we needed a certain score on the written test. My class was the classroom instructor’s last class before moving on to a new job. One thing they both made sure everyone knew was: ‘The most important part of learning to drive’ was going through the drive-through, and (they) would bring students there and order McDonald’s during the lessons. One did just driving lessons and the other taught in the classroom in addition to the driving lessons. “The drivers ed team in my area was made up of two people. Very dedicated, patient mom she was! I never felt nervous with her as I got to drive her Oldsmobile Delta 88! Loved that car with the bucket seats and (stick) shift in between the seats on the console! Mom is still dedicated, patient and kind! Wish our parents could still have that Delta!”Ĭaleb Roebuck of Lewiston: hints of success After the classroom hours, learning to check oil, etc., getting the driver’s permit, our mom - after working all day, feeding us supper - took us out every night Monday through Friday for 1 full hour practicing parallel parking, etc. First they paid for our driver’s education at Roy’s (Driving School) years ago. But my early days as a driver were marked by the bump of my tires on curb stops in fast-food parking lots, night drives to my favorite songs, and almost skinning the paint off my car trying to parallel park.īelow, readers share some of their early experiences behind the wheel.Ĭheryl Lacasse of Lewiston: a patient mom and a trusty Delta 88 I didn’t get into my first accident until I turned 21, three years after I got my license, when the car I learned to drive in - a 1998 Nissan Altima - slid on a rain-slicked street and rear-ended another car. Teens between 16 and 17 - the average ages for learning to drive - are more likely to get into car accidents than any other age group.
