[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am surprised that in such a strong AP community, your friends with APs haven’t shown you the ropes.

I recommend rematching and starting over.

1.  Look for a year 2 or rematch who already had a license and strong driving record.

2.  If new AP, the first day of training in your home (day after you pick her up), the #1 priority is getting her behind the wheel.  I rotate between showing AP our house and getting her driving.  When I need to take a break, I send AP out to drive around the block and pull in and out of driveway, park, etc.  DH takes her out driving in the evening.  The other priority is a bank account and card (I also do this on her first day).  Next is social security card.  This helps identify any paperwork discrepancies.  [/quote]

Thanks, this is very helpful.

I work full time so I don't see them as much, especially this time of year. 
One did say not to rematch as she thinks most of those APs have issues

It's our APs lack of ability to do anything that makes us nervous about allowing her to drive. We have taken her out in our car several times and DH decides to wait to see if she'd pass the US test. [/quote]
