[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The parent/child relationship does not result in a good driving instruction experience (generally).  My bet is she just feels a lot of pressure with her mom or dad sitting next to her and would do far, far better with a neutral teacher.  Like a fun uncle or aunt.

I've taught tons of people to drive who couldn't otherwise learn being taught by spouses and parents.  And its always the case that they are scared they're going to get yelled at for making a mistake or doing something "stupid".[/quote]

Oh totally. My mom was a DISASTER trying to teach  me to drive- always convinced I was about to cross the yellow lines or whatever. She would hiss and clutch her eyes dramatically. She once encouraged me to blow through a yellow at a very wide and busy intersection as she would but then halfway through seemed to remember I was just learning and shouldn't. So she yelled STOP and I did and then she yelled at me for stopping. Hot mess express. I did much better when she finally just hired a private instructor. [/quote]
