Absolutely - wish I could experience it all over again. I taught my wife and my children to drive and I was there to guide them as they learned to ride their first bike. It was a blast - mom was all nervous they would fall - but the kids were laughing even when they did fall. The one thing I learned is that when it comes to driving a car - most of what I taught them went out the window as soon as they obtained their license. My wife and daughter have heavy feet and curse at everything. Scares the heck out of me - by the time we get to our destination I'm so worked up I've got to go around the corner to smoke a joint in order to calm my nerves. My son on the other hand - if the speed limit is 55 he's going 45. He's one of these people that turns on his directionals long before he intends to make the turn so people behind him have no clue when he's going to make the turn. And he so loves his brakes that he rides them - I suffer from whiplash every time we have a long trip. Having said all that - I'd love to go through it all again because the ability to drive a car - something my step mother and grandmother never learned to do - means independence and I am happy to have helped secure that for them.

Both of my kids first outings were a covered bridge tour. I mapped out a bunch of covered bridges. Lots of little back roads with little traffic. 15 or twenty minutes of driving and then take a break enjoy the covered bridge and the stream. Get back in and do it again. The first son even got a bit of off-road driving as that road on the map should not have been classified as a road. They were pretty competent at the end of the day, at least with the basics of how to handle a car. Both times I fell asleep in the front seat as they were driving the interstate on the way home. I rousted up as we got off the interstate and now had to handle in town driving, they still needed a bit of help with all they myriad of things to pay attention to.
