Any other security questions you’d like people to expose? What about the street I grew up on driving that car? /s

Strange choice for a driving school. Not necessarily bad you'll learn to drive a big boxy car, switching to other models will be easier later.
For me it was a Fiat Punto
They also had Range Rover Sport, Mini Cooper, BMW, Tesla, Lexus, Nissan… It was surprising to see a driving academy with such a nice selection of cars.
Are the lessons expensive ? Can't see how they can afford leasing 100 000€ cars to students, who could potentially wreck them.
Or it is a money laundering front.
I didn’t really know much about it at first since my parents handled everything. Later on, I found out it’s actually a large academy, and they offer a special course for people who want to train in high-end cars. I checked their website, and it says 20 hours of training for that course costs around $7000.

I learned on tiny back roads in hill country in a GMC Yukon Denali. That thing was the size of a small bedroom. Can confirm, driving anything else is a piece of cake.
Fiat Punto.
Exam cars in my area were puntos so schools tended to teach the same model.
A forest green 1997 Honda Accord
'84 Grand Marquis
If you can parallel park THAT, you can parallel park ANYTHING!
Patches O'Houlihan?
Driver's Ed: 1986 Chevy Cavalier and it was a horrible brown color.
Parent's Cars:
1986 Buick Skyhawk: Very crappy car. The gas pedal didn't so much produce acceleration, but rather an eventual increase of the angular momentum of the tires.
1970 Chevy Impala: Loved this car. Huge and had a 400cid small block with a 400 Turbo Hydromatic with a 12 bolt posi rear end. It's the car that really taught me how to drive. It eventually ran 13's in the quarter mile.
Learned how to drive manual: 1983 (I think) Ford Escort
REALLY learned how to drive a manual: 1949 Willys Overland. A friend's Dad's car. Why did it REALLY teach me how to drive a manual? Easy, it had a non-syncrho'd transmission, much like the big rigs have. This car taught me rev-matching, double clutching, and an appreciation about how cars really work. It also had a column shifter. Once I learned how to handle the transmission, it was a lot of fun to drive. It made me a much better driver.
The car that taught me how to race (there were two):
1985 Toyota MR-2: Was a friend's car that I Autocrossed (Pro Solo) along with him. He actually made it to Nationals with this car several times. Later he won Nationals with a Supra Turbo. This was in the mid-90's.
1985 Corolla GT-S: This was my car. It was the AE86 platform with the same engine as the MR-2. Absolutely ferocious car. It didn't handle as well as the MR-2, but it was soooo much fun. This car taught me "trail braking" and a lot of other performance driving skills. This remains my favorite car I've ever owned, even to this day. I'd love to find one and restore it.

a 1968 International dump truck.
zero AC, zero power steering, zero fucks.
once you got going with a load, nothing would stop it, not even the brakes. but, it always started and never quit.
Red '89 Civic hatchback. It lacked power steering so I had to turn the wheel a hundred times to make it turn. It felt ancient to me and it was manual transmission. My dad wanted me to learn manual even though most cars are automatic in the US. No power steering absolutely sucked, but it turns out knowing how to drive manual can be pretty useful.
Ahh the Chevrolet Datamine, it was also my first car!
Nice way to get the answer to an often used security question!
I always thought these "ask" communities were a great vector to extract PII.
all you'd need to do is link users to leaked identities and probably get access to accounts quickly.
this is why I make up the wrong answers to any of those questions.
what was you first pets name?
Hannibal Lecter
what was your mothers maiden name?
Poopsmith
I swear to God any account system that uses security questions is brain dead.
For one, a third party can get access to that information with relative ease in many cases but furthermore, some of the security questions are subjective. If a security question asks me during account creation what my favorite restaurant is, what my favorite food is. That answer might literally change, I might not be able to remember the head space I was in when I made the account.
Yes yes let's protect your password with three shittier passwords for no good reason.
completely agree.
on the other side though, some.of the questions are things that are easily found. things like, "what street did you grow up on" or "what is your mothers maiden name". like...that shit can be found for free, like right now on the internet at about 200 data brokers.
how about we get an option for hardware keys? or better yet, pgp/rsa keys?
factor those in with password and MFA there should never be a reason why someone (who knows wtf they're doing) would ever get locked out of their accounts.
I just had to recover my PSN account from a decade ago and I did this with my mother's maiden name apparently
luckily I managed to remember the false birth date I had also used

1991 Ford S10 pickup, on the farm, when I was 8 years old. I only crashed it on the farm once -- in first gear, stopped. Took foot off clutch and lurched forward into the wall in front of me. In my defense, I hadn't been instructed on how to turn it off yet ;)
Ford KA Mk1, absolute shitbox and I still miss it despite driving a classic super mini these days.
The color of your first car is a fairly common backup question. Answering this in detail is not recommended.
Ford Econoline van.
My first real drive was my brother's Saab. Quirky car to start with
Early 80's Subaru sedan with a manual. On a cross country trip with my dad when we moved from the West Coast to Massachusetts. Good times...except hitting a turtle somewhere in Penn.
A 1971 Massey Ferguson 135. And yes, that's a tractor. Guess who's got two thumbs and grew up on the countryside?
When learning to drive at speeds greater than 30km/h it was in my dad's 1995 Volvo 940, a car that was later passed down to me, and I drove it until March 2025.
Ford Focus Mk2, back in 2007. Manual transmission, of course, because automatic lessons were (and still are) rare in the UK.
In Finland you can take your driving lessons with automatic but then your license applies to automatic cars only.
UK is the same in that respect.
I honestly don't remember the exact car model or even the manufacturer but it was nothing fancy. Some smallish car with manual transmission and no parking sensors or cameras. There weren't any others to choose from. This was in 2012.
Some manual car provided by the driving school. Not a gear/petrol/car head
The format was a bit bigger than a compact or full-size.
Driving lessons was with a Peugeot 308 is think. I also had supervised driving with my parents, I mostly drove my dad's Peugeot Partner (horrible car). When I go my license my parents bought me a second hand Citroën Xantia. This car was awesome 😎.
An '84 manual diesel 4-cylinder Isuzu pickup
'78 Toyota Land cruiser troop carrier, down dirt tracks with my father when I was 14.
1998 Pontiac Grand Am.
Fantastic car, thing never broke down. Hell you could drive without an oil change and the thing would keep going. Was pretty much the 90s version of the K-Car.
A dark green '96 Fiat Furtodidati. It was the Frodediidentità special edition, with the extra cupholders.
It was an ‘86 Renault Alliance. My dad would take me to random empty parking lots to practice. I remember all us kids in the neighborhood were about the same age and it was a major competition to see who could get their license first. I don’t remember who did. It wasn’t me.
Years later, when I was out of the military and starting college, my dad got me a ‘91 Nissan pickup. It was a manual transmission, and I didn’t know how to drive one. He said, “by the time you get it home, you’ll know how to drive a stick.” So I drove it home, and by the time I got it home, I still didn’t know how to drive a stick.
Early 80s Chevy Chevette.
It was so basic of a car it was unreal. Manual transmission, no radio, I mean, the damn thing was with a giant riding lawnmower with a hatchback.
Opel Vivaro
I think it was a Peugeot 306
2004 Toyota Corolla with manual transmission.
The driving school's VW Golf.
Though to be fair, I did start learning in my dad's Saab 95 BioPower, and his Peugeot 406 convertible.
When I got my license in 2022 at 35, I spent some inheritance and bought a nearly new 2021 Seat Leon FR PHEV hatchback.
205bhp in my first car aint bad....
Currently learning on a Peugeot e-208 which is electric. Apart from that, it is more or less the same as the manual version.
The family car which was a Vauxhall Cavalier.
