When I took Driver’s Ed in 1969 at Albany High School in New York, there ws no school yard to practice in… The licensed students who, like me, were in the class for the insurance discount, usually started off out onto the streets first and then when we got to quieter neighborhoods, the non-licensed, permit holders took over…
