PiCO Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 :driving: Wow. I was a little nervous! She did great, though. We were out and about for half an hour. Let's see- she needs 50 hours on her permit, so I only have to do that 99 more times. :001_unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaxMom Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Oooh, that's good! I remember the first driving incident, er, I mean "lesson". On the other hand, I had great fun when my eldest was practicing parallel parking... the neighbors pulled up lawn chairs, beer, and watched. I half expected them to pull out score cards. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She said her plan was to stop the car and call 911. Funny, this one. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candleinaustin Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I wonder if some of those hours should be on icy conditions. We drove thru CO last April when there was an ice storm. It was BAD! This Texan was not prepared for it. Good luck with the upcoming lessons, I cannot imagine how excited she is about the prospect of becomming an independent driver.

SonshineLearner Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 My plan is just to not get out of the car while I'm out with my children. As my kids say, I have a story for everything. That one is because a mom took her kid out...kid pulls up...hits mom...mom dies... I have 2 teens and a 10 year old...so soon I'll be out...Or, better yet, I'll have my husband take them! Scares me to death! You're brave! Carrie:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got an invisible brake pedal. It's all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ria Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I wonder if some of those hours should be on icy conditions. . That's a great idea, but please do it in an empty parking lot or other area empty of innocent passersby. I was hit in Nov. by a 17-yr old whose dad wanted him to learn to drive in the snow. Guess what? The kid didn't do very well. The damage to my car was over $6000, and my neck is still bothering me. Ria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ria Yes- empty parking lot with no curbs. Well after dd has some actual driving under her belt. Until that time, I will not allow her to drive in the snow.
