I don't remember my first drive. I do remember as I was first learning that my Mom & I sat at an intersection for about an hour while I tried to get the car going after stalling it out. She absolutely, positively wouldn't do it for me.  She was content to just real sweetly say "That's okay honey, we'll just sit here until you get it." I was fit to be tied.
Oh, I do remember my first drive! I learned to drive in one of the long empty parking lots adjacent to Zepplin Field (Nurnburg... where all of Hitler's rally speeches were held).  It's now called Soldier's Field ~ the Americans use it as a sports & recreation stadium.

I grew up on a farm. I learned to drive early. I learned how to back a trailer before I was allowed to drive forward. I wasn't given the option to screw up.

I taught one of my stepdaughters how to drive, it's a miracle and a testament to the Ford F250 that I survived.

Our driveway was very steep down the high side of a curve. She approached the driveway at 55, 500ft away. I said slow down...
The driveway got closer. 250ft away. SLOW DOWN...
The drive way is 50ft away. SLOW DOWN!

We made the 90degree turn at 30mph. The truck jumped the driveway and landed 30ft away in our neighbor's front yard. We came sliding to a stop sideways 10ft short of their house.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.
