When we talk about being a few driver, I vividly remember my time learning to drive. I learned how to drive on a Jeep Wrangler 5sp. Today I look and see how much room for improvement our drivers ed system has. Kids “MIGHT” be learning the basics, but vehicle care is not even a consideration. Learning the basics of car care is part of being a driver. How many kids, or adults for that matter, wouldn’t know what to do if they got a flat? Today Rusty and I talk about some of the things that we think should be part of a new drivers education.
