Do you remember being a kid, envisioning what the day you'dget your driver's license would be like? You wanted that little piece of plastic more than almost anything in theworld.  It meant freedom from everythingthat you felt was holding you back ? unfair parental rules, long bicycle ridesand embarrassing walks ? and you believed that once you had it everything wouldchange.  There was only one problem:  You didn't know the first thing about drivinga car.  So how did you bridge the gapbetween walking or riding a bike and driving a car?
