Driving school for teens

[sunbunny]

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?

No driver's ed? Driver's ed, some time on the John Deere, and Saturday afternoons out with the dad is all a boy needs.

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.

Blocked.

Have I mentioned lately I'm going insane without my computer? It wouldn't be so bad if this laptop didn't block everything.

Thanks! It actually didn't block that site.

Sucks there's no upcoming course dates. They should be running it nonstop in Johnston County.

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

The best driving advice is to keep a cool head...being young and testosterone ridden can equal death behind the wheel. That'll keep you safe more than any class ever will.

Whenever I try to teach him something, I get called a backseat driver.

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.
