Suthun Kooka4nia, Lakewood High School, Lakewood, latter '74, just Street Driving in high skool "training" class. Probably a National Safety thing.
School supplied automatic trans, 4 door car.
Dad had a '73 Mazda 4 speed wagon, peg leg, for "practicing" to take DMV tests.
Mr. Clutch was easy, same with Class 6, 7, 8 Trucks.
FREE Ways were easy, GOUGE On It (punch it baby) on Ramp and "blend in".......and slow down a little.
Turn Signals were optional.......like today.
God help us...

Who teaches them then? You trust the school? Maybe their gym teacher? I don't have faith in them teaching math, much less driving. I've never been in a wreck, and only been pulled over once in my life. I think we'll be alright.Mattflat362 and Another Canadian driver Thank this. -
