First Official Lesson

Sarah had her first "behind the wheel" driving lesson today.  She got a bonus in her first lesson too, because it was snowing all afternoon, so she got some experience driving on the roads with no salt and that were not plowed either.  I don't envy the driving instructor, because I have to do it daily, though he at least has the instructor's brake on the passenger side (I think).

Her instructor told her that she did very well, and he didn't have any real complaints about her driving other than she needs to work on her turns.  He told her that she tends to enter her turns too early.  She said that the kid that she was paired with almost got them in an accident, and that she was getting nauseous with the way he was being jerky on his braking. 

Sarah can only schedule one behind the wheel session per month and she is able to schedule her next lesson in a couple of weeks.  Now that she knows what she is doing, I think she may try to get it scheduled with another one of her friends.  I think Kris and I may try working with her on some of the other skills she is supposed to learn between now and then (like Y-turns and parallel parking).
