yep, me too! Am gonna make sure my 15 yr old also learns how to drive a manual transmission (will borrow someone’s car if I need to!) so that she can handle any vehicle she might need to drive. You just never know, right? Same things with boats, atvs, etc. If you’ve got ‘em, make sure your kids know how to properly steer/drive ‘em in case they ever have to when the adult can’t.

I learned how to drive on a dirt road when I was 13—my mom said I needed to learn cuz I spent a great deal of the summer with my grandparents, and she said if there was ever an emergency I’d at least be able to drive!
