“No need for drivers’ ed anymore.”
When I went to get my drivers license in 1969 there was drivers ed in the school, but I wasn’t in school anymore, I was working on the farm.
I walked into the local DMV and told the clerk I was there to get my drivers license.
He knew my family pretty well.
He looked at me and asked how long I had been driving the farm truck. When I told him three years he nodded and said “anyone who can drive that Studebaker with a load of cattle has all the training he needs”.
He gave me my DL, chauffeurs license and the motorcycle license just in case I bought a bike. :)
Ha ha. I was a farm kid, had been driving tractors for years, when I was out of high school by the time I was eligible for driver’s ed in the latter 70’s. Still had to take it in an independent course over the summer to qualify for my license, but yeah, driving on the road was a cinch after all I’d done on the farm.
