The 18 Kids and Counting season 1 episode 10, titled Duggars Learn to Drive, follows the Duggar family as they embark on a new adventure - learning how to drive! The episode begins with father Jim Bob taking his older sons, Josh, John, and Jana, to the DMV to take their written driving tests. They all pass with flying colors and are one step closer to getting their licenses.
However, before they can hit the road, they first must learn how to properly operate a vehicle. Jim Bob decides to teach them himself, using his old pickup truck as a practice car. He gives them a crash course (pun intended) on the basics of driving, including how to use the gas and brakes, how to shift gears, and how to parallel park.
As expected, there are a few bumps in the road as the kids try to get the hang of driving. Josh struggles with shifting gears, while John has a tendency to press the gas pedal too hard. Jana, on the other hand, seems to be a natural and takes to driving with ease.
The younger kids get in on the action as well, with Jim Bob taking them on rides around the family's property on a "practice track" that he's set up. They all have a blast, though a few of them (including the ever-dramatic Jessa) express some fear and anxiety about driving.
Throughout the episode, there are some heartfelt moments as well. Jim Bob opens up about his own struggles with learning how to drive as a teenager, and how he wishes he had gotten his license sooner. He encourages his kids to take the process seriously, but also to have fun and enjoy the experience.
There are also a few lighthearted moments, like when Jim Bob challenges his son Joseph to a "reverse race" (where they have to drive backwards through an obstacle course). Spoiler alert: it doesn't end well for either of them.
In the end, all the kids (including the younger ones who aren't quite old enough for a license yet) have learned some valuable lessons about driving. They've gained confidence behind the wheel and have had some fun in the process.
Overall, Duggars Learn to Drive is an enjoyable and relatable episode that will resonate with anyone who's ever had to learn how to drive. It's a reminder that even the biggest families are made up of individuals with their own strengths and weaknesses, and that learning something new can be both daunting and rewarding.
