Great article! I learned to drive in my Dad's 1958 Chevrolet Apache truck. I couldn't wait to get my license. My 15 1/2 year old got her permit but not enthusiastic about driving. Some of her friends haven't taken the driver's ed course. I thought that it might be the traffic in the Raleigh/Cary/Durham area! It certainly wouldn't be appealing to me if I were a new driver. Interesting of the trend. Thanks for the entertaining and informational article.
