Re: driving schools
Great post, actually. I plan to send all 3 of my kids through a 'street
driving'-type of school as they get their licneses. My oldest has his
permit now, so next spring will be the time when he gets to do this.
Oh, and I want to go too......

Re: driving schools
Hi Dan,
It's great you want to send your kids to a school. Our "ideal" student in a
street driving school is a kid that just got his/her license two weeks prior
to the school. They know how to use the controls and the rules of the road,
but they haven't built up any bad habits yet. The habits that are formed in
the first 5000 miles of driving are the hardest to break. If we get 'em
before that, we can instill the good habits and correct the bad ones early
in their driving careers. As far as your oldest, if/when/as you are driving
with him, be sure to tell him to plan ahead, and anticipate situations. The
best way to do this is to use his eyes properly. Our eyes are the most
important tool we have as drivers. Tell him to look 12 seconds ahead and
scan his mirrors every 7 seconds. Awareness of his surroundings and how
they contantly change is critical to safe driving.
