My dad used to let me take the truck around the block. I was like 13 or so, and he convinced me to pull it in the driveway. We're talking a HUGE F-250 here. So my mom's van is already parked and the driveway starts out one car with and then widens to two, which I think is pretty standard. I got flustered, and was going too fast and my dad starting screaming STOP and I started panicking and I stepped on the gas. I slammed on the brake about an inch and a half from the van. He was purple, I was hysterical. His ultimate response? "Throw it in reverse and try again." I just stared at him, said heck no and went inside. It was traumatizing.

When we moved, I was the designated lawn mower. We had about 3 acres and I used a rider. I think it helped some, but it's so different from an actual car.

I learned by driving around in a pasture. I also learned to drive a stick shift instead of just an automatic. In that same summer I learned how to fly a plane, drive tractor, and drive a boat.

Quite a successful year I must add.

My parents let me drive the ride on lawn mower at 7.. then dad taught me to drive an old 78 Ford half ton when I was 8. He later taught me how to drive stick when I was 10..

We had a huge property and I learned how to drive in our back yard in one of the many hay fields near my house.
