From my 87 year old mother.,.driving test INC the UK, circa 1957

In a stick shift car, pull to curb m the back around a corner maintaining a distance of 12-24 inches from curb at all times. Jeesh..I don’t think I could pass that today....

With rear wheel drive cars inthe Snow belt, we put snows or studded snows in the back. All seasons never were as good but FWD helped.
