Our first car, a 83' Corolla Liftback SE, was my first real drive (dunno when or how young I was when I held on to a moving Kharmanghia of my uncle. Though I would have loved driving my uncle's Chevy Malibu though)
Anyway, driving skills I had to learn was clutch control (like moving the car with only the clutch), throttle/clutch balance (usually at flyovers during traffic)... and defensive driving (the big test back then for me was driving through Quiapo)...

Ayun, panay ang kadyot kada stop light along taft. akala nung iba naghahamon ako ng karera.
Duon kami sa San Juan nag start; Wilson and Little Baguio for hanging and parking. Best area ito for me to learn this skill because of its hill and valley topographical orientation plus some areas were isolated from traffic. So ayun buong magdamag a sweaty day of clutch and throttle- bihira yung break na parang bang tinotorture ako ng aking Dad. Next step, PICC grounds para sa freestyle maneuvering. Puro mura ang inabot ko rito kahit na puro rubbish bins and islands lang naman yung mga na overun ko
Anyway magandang method yun because at your own pace and level yung pag aaral mo sa distansya, dimension ng car mo, eyes-hand-feet coordination and sound judgement without the risk of hurting anyone except yung pride and dignity mo (pinagagalitan ka habang nanonood yung mga nakangising mga ususero). Then inaply ko lahat ng skills na to sa actual driving sa Espana (road and eskinitas) going towards QC. On that day, my Dad didn't utter a single expletive at least directed towards me which goes to show that it was well worth the trouble of mastering all the basics to give you the confidence you'll need on the road. No pain, no gain lang kaibigan.
