Gosh, I remember when my mom took me to an empty parking lot without telling me what was going on. She parked the car and I was like, "What's going on?" She said, "Now, it is time for u to practice driving." I was like "SERIOUS????" It was one of the most exciting days of my life..ha.
That was back in 1987. I have been driving for 22 years now..no problems. 
There are days when I dont feel like driving and would rather walk. Ironic cuz when I was a kid, I grabbed any opportunity not to walk and now I grab any opportunity to walk instead of driving!
