My Question:
Who taught you to drive?
*******
My husband taught me in a shopping centre at night when it was empty. He is a good teacher. He didn't let me feel like I was a failure, or pressured when I make a mistake. I went from 3mph to 90mph!

ReplyDeleteAh, that is really sweet! My DH is currently trying to teach me. I am really freaked out about the responsibility. I wish I had learned when I was younger... when I wasn't as timid.
ReplyDeleteMy mother, my father, my grandfather and I had a couple of professional lessons just to be sure!
ReplyDeleteDrivers Ed.. and My Dad lol Ahh what a stressful memory this is!
ReplyDeleteDriver's Ed mostly taught me! Have a great Friday!
ReplyDeleteMy Dad. When I was learning how to drive, Drivers Ed wasn't a requirement like it is now.
ReplyDeleteMy dad, the driving instructor, and my high school boyfriend all taught me. The best times were with my bf, scariest were with my dad because he had no patience, and the most embarrassing were in Dr. Ed. because I had to share the car with 2 males plus the male teacher. I had those 2 boys clinging to each other in the back seat one day. Ah memories! :)
ReplyDeleteFound you through Friday Follow :)

ReplyDeleteHi. I am a new follower from Friday Follow.

My parents did. They each had totally different styles. About a block away from a stop sign my mom would start shouting "There's a stop sign! STOP! Stooooop!"
ReplyDeleteMy dad would be like "That was a stop sign back there. Next time you should stop."
PS: Your comment about Texas being so long to drive through made me laugh. I'm from California and spent many a trip driving from there to Dallas. When we hit El Paso, we knew we were half way there.
ReplyDeleteMy husband taught me to drive too along the back roads of Washington State.
ReplyDeleteI had a few people take me out driving; some were family friends and one was my brother-in-law. My dad was not patient with me and my mom doesn't drive.

My older sister taught me to drive a 5 speed. I think she was more patient and relaxed than my parents would have been :)
ReplyDeletePretty much my father, my mother always got to nervous with us kids driving,lol.
ReplyDeletemy daddy did...
ReplyDeleteyep, i am a daddys girl!

I took lessons. My mom was too nervous and my dad was very ill.
ReplyDeleteCMash
I took lessons too. My boyfriend (my husband now) also helped me practice.
ReplyDeleteMy father started to teach me and then was freaking me out because he was so jumpy because he didn't want me to harm his car.
ReplyDeleteSo my boyfriend at the time taught me.

My mom taught me to drive and had me learn to drive a stick. I am glad to know how to drive both. I looked quite hilarious at first driving a shift lol but all of us do in the beginning.
ReplyDeleteMy dad did in the White Sox parking lot in Chicago. hmmm or was it the Cubs? Hmmm Anyway the ballpark that they tore down. After that it was all hands on. I remember him saying that it's not your driving I'm worried about. it's the other guy! lol
ReplyDeleteMostly my Dad. And sometimes my sister too.
ReplyDeleteI started driving at a very young age. I was always tall so I could easily reach the pedals. My mom would let me drive up and down our road when I was 10 years old.
ReplyDeleteI found you from Comment Club,Thanks for sharing nice blog.

My father, tried anyway. On the manual transmission (shift & clutch) family vehicle, instead of on my mother's newer automatic. (groan)
ReplyDeleteMy teen daughter starts driver's training this fall! Yikes.
It was actually my best friend who finally explained the clutch to me in a way I could understand.
Stopping by from Friday Follow and am now following you on GFC.
