I am in theprocess of teaching my stepson to drive.......this will start me smoking again i can feel it!!!!!!

I have had a look on the direct.gov website and picked up a few things, does anyone know if there is literature availble relating to teaching someone to drive.

I am a fairly proficient driver and am pretty confident about teaching him car control, its just the finer points that i want to brush up on.....i have the highway code already

I did this with my eldest step son about 6 years ago, thought it would 'Test' our relationship but it went quite well. Took him out to learn clutch control and he picked it up in no time, and unlike myself had done no previous driving. He then started having lessons and I just helped him with practice sessions in his car, which we gave him for christmas, was only swmbo's old peugeot 405 but was his pride and joy so he took no risks

You could try E-Bay under books and look for driving instructor manuals (practise, technique etc). Did have a driving instructor manual myself but not sure if I have still have it.
I had 2 lessons with driving school and loads of practise in my own car and passed my test 3 months after my 17th Birthday.

My ex took my sons and daughter out for a number of driving lessons as they each obtained their provisional licence. 8-) 8-)

Afterwards he vowed, never again!!  Driving schools after that!!

I'd warn against it now due to the way things have changed.

When I learnt it was keep roughly to speed limit no problems with 32 on the speedo. Now it seems you must stay under the limit rather than at the limit, or instant fail

The thing about driving schools car's is that they have any extra pedal or 2 on the passenger side of the car - they make all the difference!

Just make sure the car has a good hand break...

I've recently posted what happened when my Dad tried to teach me to drive. It was 21 years ago and I can tell he's still not comfortable being in a car I'm driving.

It's true that bad habits can be picked up really easily and are very difficult to shake off. Same with flying.
