...interesting thread.
I'm teaching my 18 year old daughter to drive now. I just try to speak in calm, reassuring tones so as to not add to her stress level.
Thanks for the "go test near closing time" tip, CG. I'll definitely make sure she does that. Along with taking her test using her grandfather's sports car, the smallest car in the family.

Haha my daddy taught me to drive too. I almost sent us through a brick wall when I hit the gas instead of the brake. A big uh oh but I got it right in time! I passed my tests just fine so he was a good teacher but I think he has a lot more gray hair after teaching his girls to drive!
My husband learned how to drive when he was in his 30's. My brother let him drive his car while he had the permit but not the license yet. My husband, not used to power steering, made a sharp turn and almost hit a car in the next lane. My brother pretty much freaked out. Anytime we talk about my husband driving this incident comes up and we all laugh. I feel sorry for my husband because he is always the target of "bad driver jokes" from everyone in my family. In reality, he has a "good driver discount" from our insurance company because he has never had an accident that was his fault.

LOL! props to your dad!
Right now, we're doing parking lots...wide, empty, expansive parking lots. Next we'll move to deserted city streets (like 4 a.m. on a Saturday morning deserted streets.)
