Ryan has been 16 for 3 month, but hasn't really had the desire to drive. We decided today to take him to the parking lot of his highschool and get him behind the wheel.
He went with Mike this morning and then I took him again in the evening.
I have to admit I was calmer then I thought I would be...I didn't have that white knuckle death grip on the door handle and I didn't feel the need to push the imaginary brake on the floor. (Even though we all know it helps the driver slow the car down)
I was very impressed with his driving ability the first time out. We figure we will take him every so often before he heads to drivers ed at the end of summer. Plus, he needs to spend time going over the drivers manual before he can take the test for his learners permit.
Notice the hand at the 10-2 position and eyes on the road....(small beads of sweat are on the brow.)
