According to reports, the five-hour course can be conducted by using distance learning technology such as Zoom. That means first-time drivers will be able to take a needed step towards getting a license, all without having to leave home.
You never forget the first time you drove a car or truck. There is a feeling of freedom and a feeling of extreme responsibility. My cousin Charlie let me drive his Dodge pickup on his farm road when we were at a family party. The dirt driveway may have only been a couple hundred feet long but it felt like it was longer as we idled the truck from the house to the pond. I even remember the day I took my road test. It was a Friday and there was a partial solar eclipse that day!
With the amount of ride sharing that is available, there may not be as many people wanting to learn how to drive. I can't even imagine that! I couldn't wait to get my license! And more than 20 years later, I still love to drive!
