We didn't have driver's ed at my school. My mother actually taught me most of my driving...we first started practicing on my high school parking lot. Got my permit 2 months before my 16th birthday...MO passed a law at that time allowing you to get your permit at 15 1/2. My parents then hired a driving school to make sure I knew what I was doing...had 2 lessons, and passed them with flying colors. Used the driving school's car for my exam and passed with a 90.

I am now helping teach my 19-year-old sister-in-law to drive. She's had her permit for a while now, but got so comfortable that she failed her first attempt at the driving test. The goal is to get her her license before we leave for the East Coast, which is June 7th. We'll see...
