[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can’t you teach him in parking lots and side streets like everyone else? He’s going to realize installing a special break is not normal practice and be embarrassed and pissed. [/quote]

That's what I'm doing now, but I worry about the transition from that to busier streets, because my teen has ADHD (treated, but still) and it's only a matter of time before he has a moment of brake/accelerator confusion, probably when there's a lot of information coming at him quickly (intersection, drivers coming from all around). This particular brake I'm looking at can be installed and removed in a few minutes, and isn't the heavy-duty second brake in driving school vehicles. It has great reviews on Amazon, but I was wondering if someone else on here had ever used something like this:

The embarrassment factor is simply not a consideration, BTW :-)[/quote]

OP, if you truly feel this way, your teen is in no way ready to drive.  [/quote]

+1 op this is a crazy idea. The dilution is to practice more in the parking lot, more on side streets, and then find gradual increases and slowly ease your way up. Many teens don’t get their licenses as soon as they are eligible snd that’s completely fine. It sounds like your son is a kid who will need extra time and practice-focus on getting him that.
