Hey, he got back alive from both rides.

And we definitely know who is the most boring driver.

Many many years ago I had a very young cousin who refused to go in a car if his mother was driving. One day he was threatened with the option of either going with his mother or going to bed. He went straight to his bedroom , put his pyjamas on and went to bed.

My dad told the story of trying to teach my mom to drive on a rural road. He told her to "drive straight down the road." She did; the road curved left, she drove straight into a tree. She never did get a license.

My dad told us about our mother getting her license. It was in a coal camp in WV and the place they had to parallel park was a wide space by the road and it had about a 10 foot drop down to the river on the back side. They used barrels then rather than the cones they use today. My mom tried to park once and totally missed it and the officer had her try again. On her second time she hit the barrel and it went floating down river. The officer told her to just drive back the station. They got out and he passed her. Dad said he did not have the nerve to go with her again.

Once when I went to DMV to renew my motorcycle license and they assigned the "New Guy" to me. He came out prepared to ride with me in a car. Takes one look at me setting on my bike holding out my extra helmet for him.
"That's OK just take it around the parking lot a little while I watch." A few circuits, a couple a slaloms and figure 8's around the parked cars. Pulled up next to him - he signed off on me and gave the other "old hands" a dirty look as he went back into the office. I think one of them got a hernia holding in the laugh.

I remember I was on first to third grade. Several times different people took my Mom to the grade school parking lot to teach her to drive. The one thing I remember thinking was that she had no business trying to drive a car. Loved my Mom dearly. She was the best mother anyone could have. But thank God she never even attempted to get a permit.

After reading the comment about the motorcycle driving test, I realized it was 50 years ago this month that I took my last driving tests after moving from a small town in Kansas to Oregon. My wife was petrified about taking the test and wanted me to "go first" so I could tell her what the test was like. So I went down took the written test then drove about two blocks over to where the officer was giving the driving tests. I passed it with no problem. I went home and took my wife later in the morning -- she had no problem.

In the afternoon I went back to take the motorcycle test. In Kansas at the time, the motorcycle endorsement only required a written test and I'd heard that there was a driving test in Oregon and was puzzled but learned that it just required being able to navigate around cones in a parking lot within sight of the officer. So I took the written test and again headed to where the driving tests were being given.
When I arrived, the officer said, "Welcome back, can I have your paperwork?" I handed him the papers and he just checked a couple of boxes, signed them and gave me a copy. I must have looked puzzled because he explained -- "I was watching when you left the station. You pulled into traffic correctly, and signaled the left turn correctly even when you didn't know I was watching."

I've always wondered how many flunked the test before they even knew it was started!
