I liked drivers ed when I took. I thought it was a blast! Of course my teacher was nuts so that helped im sure. He would put his hands out in front of him and "drive" around in the class room and "crash" into desks, walls to prove points.
Didn't have driver's ed where I'm from.
Basically, the way it worked was, when you turned 16, you went to the DMV (or whatever it was called back in Coquitlam), and take a written test, based on a small study guide.
If you pass that, you had a learner's permit, and now you were able to learn to drive, on the city streets, with instruction from any licensed adult (in my case, my father).
All it took was 30 hours of practice driving under a licensed-driver's care (based on your word--no way to verify anything), and you could take the driver's test.
I had about 12 hours in the car with my father.
I passed the driver's test easily.
And I've been driving fine for the past thirteen years . . .
