DD started driver's ed finally this morning. Um she is already scheduled to drive on Monday!!! Omg are they nuts? They are actually even making them go on the interstate? Yup they are officially crazy. Here's the kicker - the instructor told them (supposedly?) for them to have their parents let them drive around a bit over the weekend - to get used to everything and get the basics down. This thought terrifies me!! The running joke in the family was dh was going to teach dd to drive (she and I are close, but I tend to bring out the worst in her). He obviously won't be here before Monday and OMG I'm a nervous wreck!! What do I do? Go to the mall parking lot when they are closed? Drive down a nearby dirt road? Just let her back up and down my driveway? All of these options still have things that can get hit!! I can't think of any open fields anywhere nearby and my yard isn't car friendly.

They don't use driving simulators anymore????

That is really funny. I remember that one day DD drove her friend home from school. She pulled into her driveway because she is the last house at the end of a dead end street. Then DD was totally confused about which way to turn the steering wheel to back out. She was also afraid she was going to hit oncoming traffic, so she would drive too close to the right side, and I always thought she was going to hit a parked car. So far w/ 2 yrs. of driving, she hasn't hit anything yet.
