Back in the day ~1967-69 in the car driver training was mandatory at my high school.
At this point I don't remember exactly what I learned but I remember I drove a new Pontiac Firebird manual 3 speed. I was pretty good with a clutch - my Dad let me drive pickups around the storage yard at his work. My high school had a 4 speed GTO and I was disappointed to not get a lesson in that. Some months later some girl drove it (GTO) into the shop building. I bet she never forgot that but may have become a better driver for the rest of her life.
