Your story brought up many memories of my experience learning to drive in that very same year. I was also trained by Young Drivers of Canada. My instructor must've thought I was an aspiring rally driver, because he took me on the curvy part of Glenmore Road North and made me practice "hitting the apex".
I've long forgotten how many times I had to practice starting on an uphill grade with a manual transmission, or parallel parking, but I think my numbers were similar to yours.
Great writing as usual, Paul. You are an accomplished storyteller!
Thank you, Ken! We passed on your wishes to Mom when we visited her yesterday evening. She says to say hi and thank you! She's making steady progress and will hopefully soon be back home.
Obviously, you were better at learning to start on uphill grades than I was. My memory of that traumatic experience will never be forgotten! :)
Glad your mom is okay.
Thank you, Michael. Happy travels!
Best wishes to your mother for a speedy recovery.
