With his permit in hand, Reese is now ready to learn to drive. He has now completed two weeks of driver's ed - all theory, no actual behind the wheel experience.
Three times this week I took him out in "his" car to drive. "His" car is a pick up truck with manual transmission, so our lessons have been limited to getting the car to go without stalling. Some days he has done better than others. So we start and stop and start and stop and start and stop. No need yet to even leave first gear.
Tonight, I needed my car moved from the garage to the front of the house, so I asked Reese to drive it around for me. I rode in the passenger seat. He had no idea what to do: where is the turn signal, how do I put it in gear? Where does it say drive? Which side of the road do I drive on?
Oh, when I say STOP, he seems to just keep going and going and going.
Lots more work needed.
