So I asked the American Idol host about his mettle behind the pedal. Q: What kind of driver were you when you first learned how to drive? Ryan Seacrest: I was actually not a bad driver. My father used to take me to a parking lot about 10 minutes from where i grew up and we would learn how to go forward, go backward and learn how to parallel park. So by the time I could really drive, I wasn’t so bad. Just a few minor fender benders. Nothing major, thank God. – Read more at Huffington Post
