    Private Practise
    How was your first private practise with your parents?

    I just went out with my dad... and I think i'll wait a few more weeks till I do again! One minute he is telling me something I know, the next he is pointing out some scenery, then he's shouting stop at the roundabout (and I stalled half onto a major roundabout ) then he forgets to tell me about something I haven't done before!!

    It's enough to put me off driving!!!

    (Don't worry though, I did ask my driving instructor and he said it was safe enough to do!!)

    Ahhh!!

    Its worth paying the ADI to have a 30 minute chat with any private supervising driver so that they are both on the same page

    I never went out driving with my parents for the reasons you mentioned.

    I think it's more stressful going out with them, but I want to get some practice. Instead of going on the main roads, I might just say around my area to revise what I have done in my lessons (For the first few times anyway :P)

    Very different experience with each parent! Mum is great, but I choose not to drive with dad, too stressy
