[QUOTE="Dress2Jacket, post: 776049, member: 5508"] I witnessed one just a few minutes ago as I was walking around our neighborhood. An SUV pulled to a stop and a HS aged boy and his Dad opened the doors and swapped sides of the vehicle with the kid climbing in on the driver's side. In my mind I thought "first driving lesson". I was 50 yards behind them and on the other side of the street, so I felt fairly safe. As I continued my walk, I watched for the signs which indicate a vehicle is about to start moving - brake lights, followed by a flash of reverse lights as the transmission is shifted from P, through R and N, landing at D. Didn't happen. Instead, the SUV revved up, didn't go anywhere, and then revved higher. A few seconds later, the engine returned to idle, the brake lights came on, the reverse lights flashed, and the SUV started slowly up the hill. No harm, no foul, and I got a laugh out of it. It was a lot easier when I was a kid. I just taught myself (staying on our property in West Cobb) when the parents left me at home by myself. Nobody saw my mistakes. Not sure how I am gonna teach the boy to drive when that day comes. There are few appropriate places around here now. [/QUOTE]
