Don: Yeah, when I was getting ready to go to college, and thus acquiring my first motor chair to enable me to get around campus, the steering / control was the trickiest bit to get a handle on. As a matter of fact, my mother ordered me to "Take that thing outside!" because I was on the verge of wrecking the furniture.

...So I terrorized the goats for about a week. After a while, though, I got the feel for the joystick control, and it's almost second nature, now. ...But I still have trouble keeping straight when I back up, twenty-something years later.
