Practice Sessions


Learning to drive is like many other activities — playing sports, video games or a musical instrument — you have to practice to get better. You might think you will get enough experience through driver education, but that’s not the case.

  • Start with the basics — look at the owner’s manual, learn where everything is and what everything does
  • Talk to your parents - agree on how to communicate when practice driving
  • Begin with simple driving – start in an empty parking lot or quiet street, then gradually drive on more challenging roadways
  • Practice in a variety of conditions
    • Highways
    • City streets
    • Rainy weather
    • Nighttime
    • Heavy traffic
