Driving school for teens

I want to send my son to a driving class. I know gtg sent her son to one in Charlotte, but I need something closer to home around Raleigh/Wilson.

I've tried googling, but this computer blocks all the sites.

And another thing, why block defensive driving classes? I understand facebook, but defensive driving classes links?

Yeah, he's had driver's ed. I want him to take a defensive driving class. One of my biggest fears is him running off the road and over correcting. Whenever I try to teach him something, I get called a backseat driver. I also don't want to teach him how to correct a skid in my car.

This is exactly how my parents felt. I took the a defensive driving class a couple years ago and it was pretty helpful. I'd recommend it

Then I would tell him to get his ass in the back seat while I drove... my 15 y.o. is in drivers ed now and will get his permit in January... we'll see how that goes. My biggest fear with him is inattentiveness... he's just like his momma in that regard and she's one of the worst drivers ever. He will NOT be learning from her.

    • Nobody is saying we don't need it, just that we have bigger needs elsewhere, and that type of WR is actually something that is often found in the mid rounds, you just have to scout and evaluate properly. Here's another way of looking at why WR in the 1st shouldn't even be considered an option. Looking only at players currently on the team, what position group would you feel strongest about 4 years from now? I'm not sure there is a better answer there than WR, as you have to think T-Mac is our best player on the team in 4 years (Brown is the only current player I think there is even an argument to be made over T-Mac there), with Coker not far behind. Our OL is too old to be considered, my opinions on Bryce is well known, Hubbard will be done by then and the rest of the RB is an unknown, Off-ball LB is maybe our biggest need, we only have 1 legit safety, it's certainly not TE, and our 2nd best CB right now will be 33 by then.   Brown should still be a beast as he'll only be 31, but nobody else on the DL projects to be that good in 4 years.  Edge rusher with Phillips, Scourton, and Princely is probably the only other possible answer than WR. So yes, that fast/shifty type of WR is 100% a need of ours, but we have so many other bigger needs both in the immediate and future, that to me, taking a WR in the 1st for the 3rd year in a row and having hit on another WR in the same time frame, just makes zero sense both currently and looking into the future.
    • Laughing at Slayton (Mooney or Calvin Austin III), but telling me that Coker is the next best thing since sliced bread...You laughing at Theo Johnson in reference to our guys too? LOL No one in their right mind thinks Nabers is anything but a stud (definitely top 10 if not 5 potential). You do realize that Thomas was in a new system with a furst-time coach last year (with a questionable QB to boot)? And yet still, it's possible that he eclipses even T-mac (not saying that he will). They didn't even mention Travis Hunter. In any event, we're not in the top half. Draft another legit receiver, and we will be. 
    • Absolutely, very fair assessment of the team.
