... written from the perspective of a 58-year-old man getting his license for the first time along with his 20 year old son.

Seriously, don't let it being from the New Yorker discourage you - it's a decent read.

God, that's terrifying. Perhaps this bit sums it up best:

"I called my dad, in Canada. (Luke, of course, got his license one-two-three, just like that.) He was pleased, but didn't seem particularly impressed. "The important thing is that now you know how to drive," "

Yeah, when I told my dad I'd passed my test, he said 'now you can start learning how to drive'.

"We make ourselves in our father's sunshine but also in his shadow: what he beams down we bend away from."

Holy. Fucking. Shit.

That pretty much sums up my entire life in one sentence.
