[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]

I’m sorry, but the first thing I thought of when I saw this was Homer’s “reaching broom” in the Simpsons episode where he got enormously fat.  You certainly would need some significant practice to reliably use it in real life, and it looks like it could cause as many problems as it might solve. A metal lever dangling from a rubber band in the middle of the windshield and the path of the airbag just doesn’t seem like a great plan. [/quote]
