[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know several kids who have either ADHD or non-verbal learning disability who have had a really hard time learning to drive. I have heard that two or three times the required number of practice hours is more realistic when they are learning to compensate for something like that.

Also ditto the recommendation for I Drive Smart.[/quote]

You have heard wrong.  120 or 180 hours gives the student enough time to develop bad habits that would result in failure on the test.  MVA will fail a student for any violation of Maryland law that many of us do everyday and consider as trivial.  Rolling through RTOR's, stopping over white stopping lines, and improper turns are all habits that a kid with well over 60 hours tend to develop over time.  Far better to take the test at 60 hours or so.[/quote]

This is absolutely wrong. More hours of supervised practice are far, far better than fewer. Only an American would suggest it's better to have less practice before maneuvering a 2 ton vehicle at 16 than more.[/quote]
