[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 446709, member: 3444"] LOL! He came home after his 2-hour session with the instructor and said he felt like he was going to throw up -- that's how nervous he was! I went ahead and booked his 2nd and third classes for Thursday and Monday. And in the mean time, he'll be practice a lot with me. After he had a chance to unwind, I had him drive me about 4 miles to the shop to get my car smog-checked since it's due this month with my registration. He did pretty well! I made him switch when we got to the tiny, crowded parking lot so I could maneuver into a spot without holding up traffic. After that, he drove 4 more miles to the mall, even made a left turn at a major intersection, and parked in the parking structure between two cars! I was very impressed. He's still got a long way to go, but for his first time out on the road with me I thought he did really well. Coming back home, he gladly gave me back the keys saying he'd had enough driving for one day! :rofl: Tomorrow we'll go see my mom for a bit. She's about 35 miles away via freeways, but I'm not putting him on THAT road yet -- too much traffic for him still. I'll probably have him drive TO the freeway and then we'll switch, and then back again when we get off onto city streets. We'll think about freeways after about 40 hours, which should put him somewhere in September I think. [/QUOTE]
