I remember taking mine. I drove my folks' Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight. That alone made me nervous because the rear window was so small and the car was a large luxury car. Driving down the street and turning corners was easy, but then I started sweating bullets when the examiner wanted me to parallel park. I passed though! Because we parallel parked along a street where there were hardly any cars.
There was a little course right at the motor vehicle place for mine, no REAL roads! I learned to drive with my husband's mother's Ford station wagon with the wood grain on the sides, can't recall the name of the model, but I took the test luckily in my own '65 Mustang, easier to parallel park with for sure!
