Kaybee50: I learned in High School. It was a class offered. And it was fun! We had simulators and pretend we were driving down a street, and it was like a video game with objects coming at us unexpectedly. And they also took us out to the "Skid Pan". The surface was wet or icy, depending on the weather, and the we got the car going at a high speed and the instructor would then purposely put the car out of control. We had to learn how to quickly get the car back under control in all situations.
I learned to drive a manual transmission from a friend. That was an experience. I stalled out the car many times, in traffic. Was nerve-wracking. Especially learning how to not allow the car to roll backwards on a hill, at a stop, with a car right behind me.

My father taught me ... I used to have to practise hill starts by him placing a match box behind the front wheel to judge how well I had done the hill start ... He was a perfectionist ... I thank him for that now.
