Teaching someone to drive. Any tips?

Good deal.


Only people I've ever taught were my kids. I wanted them both to learn
using a stick shift. (good to know how) We used a high school parking lot
on non school days.

Even I didn't learn like that.. I was tossed into the intersection of death within the first min of driving (Woodroffe & Baseline, in Ottawa, Ontario)... I then drove around little Italy, & the market (ya insane there!!!)

Know whats funny? My instructer thought I was lying when I said it was my first time driving It really was & I was driving where NO beginner should ever be driving!!


I don't have any kids or any family for that matter anywhere near me for hundreds of km... Joe doesn't have much family so hes had to learn a lot of things on his own. Hes also been living on his own since he was 16. He learns everything from our big brother & sister, & his friends. I've been honored to teach him to drive. When he gets his G2, Gio will be teaching him how to drive Manual (stick). I plan to get involved in that as I want to learn more & Gio is a really good stick driver unlike Chad, yikes!
