We have to take drivers ed here in N.H. to get a first license.It used to be if you waited until you were 18 you didn't have to take it.It was available through our school,in 1972 it cost me $20.Our math teacher did the whole thing,both classroom and driving.There are some driving schools around,but I don't think the public school does it anymore.When the math teacher retired in the late 90's nobody wanted to step into the job for what he had been being paid.ZERO.It wasn't until then that I found he had been volunteering his services for over 30 years.He told me that in the 60's,70's,and most of the 80's the kids already knew how to drive.Mostly he had to break them(us)of bad habits.From about 1990 on up he has actually had to teach kids how to drive.A friend has a very successful driving school,he has one hard and fast rule,phones go in the trunk.
