"Electric Vehicles are Actually Worse for the Environment than Internal Combustion Cars"

Man. That almost looks identical to the 1977 Datsun B210 that I learned to drive on. Same yellow ish color and everything. Brings back memories of youth and debauchery.

Ah it's all clear now. The datsun's color morphed in to a cheeto's fixation.

I learned to drive tractor and pickup around 12 or so, but I bought my first car from my parents and took my test in a 1970 (or was it a 71?) Duster with a slant 6 and 3-speed on the floor. Installed a 4-bbl setup and a few other go fast parts (lol @slant 6) but it would eat stock small blocks until it finally seized up. Later upgraded to a built 340TA motor and 4-speed stick. Then I stupidly sold it and bought a 65 Mustang Notchback 289HO. Then went in the Army and had brother sell the Mustang in 1981 while I was in Germany.

Same color, wheels. Not actual car.

I feel like the days of kids learning to drive early are nearing an end. I mean not me. I let my daughter drive the Amigo on the highway when she was 10. It's not what you're thinking though. Then when I got a manual I taught her to drive that when she was 12. It's amazing how quick kids pick things up. She was starting in 2nd and pulling a trailer (empty) by her second time. She did tow the trailer behind the Amigo for 13 miles on dirt roads one year on a hunting trip.

Some ev without transmission, many would not know what manual transmission or gearbox is.

Not just that, there is a surprising and growing number of teenagers that have no intent to learn how to drive at all.

And once the tech any regulation advances a few more years (4-5 years, I am guessing) they probably will never have to.

My youngest nephew is one of those. 19 years old and he would still rather be the passenger than drive. He let his learners permit expire (I think on purpose) and hasn't bothered to renew it in order to get a license. He just sees no need for it -- he has a passport if he needs a photo ID and I think he'd rather play games on his iPhone than drive.

My 15 year old son is progressing through his drivers training on-line class and anxious to get to real training.

I know of a woman in her 30's, with two children, that just never bothered to learn to drive. Seems pretty irresponsible to me.

Surprisingly many NYC adults do not have driver's license.

Yep, I used to work with a lady who spent 18 years in NYC so when she eventually moved to CO she had to buy a car and get over her fear after not driving herself anywhere for nearly 2 decades. She literally chose where to live based on how many turns it was from her new job.... not mileage, turns....
