I’ve been driving a car for more than 45 years now. Or, to quote my driver ed instructor, with the ONE piece of information he provided me, I’ve been operating a vehicle for more than 45 years now. His exact statement was, “I am only able to teach you how to operate a vehicle. After you master that, you will finally be able to drive one.” Which is why he followed me home often, making me walk several miles to double back and retrieve my car. Because he knew that I was driving a car- and clearly had been doing so for a long time before I took his driver ed course.
