I take your point.
Perhaps I'm being a miserable old know it all.
I taught both my kids to drive and started them rather early. In those days we could still drive on the beach at Southport and Ainsdale.
My son used to sit on my knee at four years old. I did the actual driving but he did the steering using the external mirrors whilst reversing down a three hundred yard narrow fenced drive.
And when they passed the test I took them for a longish motorway drive. Part of that I made them be a bit spirited and even speeding. Bloody 70mph crap
