Driver's Ed should be taught in high school, not some fly by night sketchy driving school.

Do they still show the car accident films from the 60s with scary names like "Blood Flows Red on the Highway"?

And have it in the three on the tree mode.
If you can’t drive it without stalling it you fail.

Took drivers ed from coach Carter at Broadmoor in the 70’s in the summer.
Daily trips to athletic House to pick up equipment for practice.
My Dad had already had me practicing and I felt comfortable on the road.
They had started building streets and infrastructure but got caught in an economic downturn and there weren’t any houses. We would drive the streets with almost no traffic. No maintenance done and tall grass everywhere . Drove down a street with a circle at the end and some guy was railing this old girl on the trunk of the car. Dude never stopped my old man just said keep on driving. LOL

Coach Gros taught ours at Oaklawn Jr. High in Houma.
I had already been driving, learned on Grandpa's F-100 with 3 on the tree and a hole in the floorboard where his heel rested on the gas pedal.
To pass the class we had to drive through the tunnel, twice.

One day a week we would go get a hamburger for lunch somewhere.

I don’t think my kid is ready to drive by any stretch at 15, but would it be worth putting him in a real drivers ed course over the summer? Then possibly making him go thru it one more time to be certain he’s ready for the road. I let him drive some, but he just doesn’t pay enough damn attention to what’s going on around him.
I had a coach too. I scheduled that class at lunch time because he would let us drive somewhere and pickup lunch if we bought his too.
They dont teach it now (as is evident by all the dumbass drivers). Both my kids started driving on the farm around 8-9 years old. As soon as they were big enough to see over the dash and work the pedals. They drove an old Nissan pickup that was the "farm truck". They learned how to drive through gates, turn around (3 point turn) while on a narrow road between rows of trees. Never hit anything but got stuck in the mud a lot.
They were not allowed to drive on public roads, just on dirt roads inside the fence. They are both great drivers now (28 & 25).

Haha yes.
My group was privileged to include a girl who had no clue what she was doing and didn’t know what power steering was
So we are driving around and she turns and then jerks the wheel back the other way and I thought we were all going to die that day . I don’t recall ever driving with her again after that
That was terrifying
Damn I haven’t thought about that in like 20 years. What a memory.

Head baseball coach. Would makes bring to his Momma's house for coffee. And head out of town to buy bags of roadside peaches. One kid in class drove him to a store for groceries, missed the brake pedal and hit the side of the store

My driver's ed teacher was a coach. I guess he was around 45 years old back then. He had us drive to another town about 8 miles away and park in the driveway of a pretty old looking house where he claims his mother lived.
Years later we found out the person he was banging inside that house wasn't his mother at all.
