[quote=Anonymous]After 12 hours and still not getting it ... time to rematch.

We've had AP with near-zero skills - basically starting like a non-driver in the parking lot and after about 2 times a week for a month at 1 to 1.5 hours each time (equivalent to your 12 hours), they are ready to take the DMV road test.  We continue to practice with them after getting the license because part of us deciding if AP can go it alone is more than just mechanically knowing how to drive but also how to navigate and wayfind to the most frequenct locations. So less about technical driving and more about getting from point A to B and how to problem solve when getting lost going to a new address, during the last few practice runs.

Mine were the steroeotypcal weak Chinese AP drivers.  I matched with them knowing that they were weak drivers and they were ready for DMV road test after 12 hours of practice - just as a reference for comparison.

We have never had an AP who drove on the other side of the road so cannot offer how long a reasonable adjustment period is for that.  However, if you matched with her with the understanding that she is already a strong driver and driving is essential in her job, then she is not the right fit for you.[/quote]
