I'd had a school permit since I was 14, so I had already been driving to school. But I remember after I got my full license, being able to go to the 'big city', for my orthodontist appointments. My mom was very happy about that too! I always stressed, because they only had parallel parking on the street. I would have walked blocks, to avoid parking between to parallel parked cars!
Probably not really the kind of info you were looking for, but that's the first thing that popped into my head.
We would also spend hours driving 'the loup' in my little town. ( like 1000 people-- really small). I lived on a farm, so having that freedom to go into town on my own was a really big deal. Thinking back - it was so stupid to just drive around like that. But that's what we all did! We were so COOL!!
