[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I assume this is supplementing other instruction - whether private driver's ed or thru public school.

Consider carefully a safe logical location - you might want to ask other parents in your neighborhood. For us it was the community college parking lot - far away from parked cars and after hours. After 6 or so lessons there, we started at a broad, infrequently traveled neighborhood street.

Much, much later is any driving where you might encounter other cars. And oh, when you get to the point where the young driver is making any turns, do all right hand turns - easier and safer than left hand turns.[/quote]

Wow. The first time my dad took me driving it was in the parking lot of an industrial parking lot on a weekend. Then he had me drive home from there. Tips that helped me: my comfort speed was 35mph, white lights mean reverse, and when you're going into a turn you don't give the car has until you're halfway through it. Oh and also, my dad drewe a picture of a car with lines showing the sight views each mirror gave me, and that really helped me understand where the blind spots are so I knew where to look when i turned my head.[/quote]
