Momma taught me. Never did learn to parallel park though. Passed my driver's test on the first time. And I love to drive. I used to go for a drive for fun, but gas is just too expensive to do that these days....

Hmm well I grew up on 4-wheelers, skidoos and dirt bikes so I guess maybe my dad taught me how to drive at first but we were left to own devices at a younger age.
As for how to drive a car my mom did most of the teaching and I'll tell you she does not make a good instructor. She has horrible anxiety and loves to be in control of everything so being a passenger while teaching someone to drive is not her thing. I also did take drivers ed mostly because I wanted to get lower insurance rates. BUT before I actually got my license, I had a friend who needed a babysitter and needed someone to pick up her kids from school and drive them around to appointments so while I was babysitting I had access to her car and I did that for a bit when I was about 15 years old. Looking back I don't think it was the smartest thing to do but I definitely had fun and never crashed so there is that lol
