[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’re supposed to drive with them before the behind the wheel instruction.  There was just a thread about this recently.  Do not send them with zero experience.

Start in a parking lot and graduate to smaller roads.  [/quote]

This. At least in Virginia you have a test at the DMV to get the permit. Take them to a parking lot after that, we used the Wolf Trap and NOVA CC lots to start doing very low speed (like 10-15mph) car handling a few times. By the time DC had their first driving lesson we already had a few hours under their belt, moving from the parking lots to short stints on neighborhood streets. [/quote]
How does this work with insurance? They aren’t covered. Aren’t you worried they’ll hit a car, or worse? [/quote]

They are covered under your insurance.

I didn’t have either of my kids do BTW/take the road test until I was very comfortable with their abilities. That meant they had their permits for more than the required 9 months and they did more than the 45 driving hours needed. [/quote]
