LOL, I got my learners permit at 15 years 8 months. Took the test in a 1958 VW. The clutch was slipping so bad I thought I would not be able to get the car moving when the 300 pound State Trooper got into the passengers seat.

He only marked me down for parallel parking, but a lot of that was because I really couldn't see very well around him!
No outside right mirror didn't help either.
