My dad was the opposite thankfully! He taught me to drive in the bush, on the beach etc, well before legal driving age, as soon as I could reach the pedals, and taught me to ride a dirt bike when he scored one small enough for me for cheap. He also taught basic repairs, we were not wealthy so everything we had needed fixing pretty regularly lol.
For him it was a father/son bonding thing, and we both loved it. I still have a love of cars and bikes which I suspect stems from those early experiences.
I have to assume too that learning the road rules and the like was a lot easier without needing to learn driving basics at the same time. Why most places seem to teach "car control" and "road rules and traffic" together is beyond me.
