Progress to heavier
traffic and work your way up to stop and go traffic.
Don't forget the Interstate.
The hardest part is learning the proper way enter and
exit. Learn to keep the proper distance and use of signals
when changing lanes etc. Don't use quick steering actions.
Remember you are travelling at high speed now. If you
jerk the wheel you could go into a spin. Steering at
high speed should be slow and smooth.
Parents, always have your teen
explain what they see ahead, from the horizon to the
front of the car.
Example: There are pedestrians
on the right, stopped traffic two blocks up, the light
one block ahead is red, there is a car approaching,
the car in front of me just turned on its right turn
signal etc.
Watch the hands and feet. Correct
bad habits immediately. ONE foot and both hands. Don't
use the left foot for braking.
Make sure your parent has their
seat belt fastened.
When turning always look left
then right then left again
