Since the local School system does not offer Driver's ed.....I will use the 40 hour Parent/Teen Curriculum offered by the state, as an alternative to the $600.00 driver's ed school.......

If my nerves hold out!!!!

If you live near me, Please be aware.....she tends to make wide turns and might hit you.....you have been warned

I tought my oldest daughter to drive and she is a way better driver than my youngest one. The youngest one I put through drivers ed and paid $400.00 and drove with her for 6 months with a permit. She had two wrecks within 16 days of getting her license. Scares me everytime she is behind the wheel now. I make her call when she arrives and leaves anyplace. Maybe it was just the difference between the two girls but the older one listens better the younger is a leader and thinks she is always right. Drives me insane at times. Good luck. Been there and done that.

i took drivers ed in school(thats been about 28yrs ago) but yet i still dont know how to drive. i even got behind the wheel several times.
in fact there was junior high teacher that i didnt have but a friend of mine did. he retired from teaching and was teaching drivers ed and at that time he was cheapest in town(this was about 19-20yrs ago)
and he was charging $20. i dont even know if he is still teaching it or even alive.
