When my daughter had her permit, I gave her a lesson in stress driving. PA Turnpike, rush hour, full size van.
She handled it well and I never worried about her driving again.
I told my kids that I wasnt worried about their driving so much as everyone else on the roads. Doesnt matter how good of a driver you are unfortunately. Yes, I am aware driving defensively is a must, but you cannot always compensate for others.

Wow, I wouldn’t even want to do that. LOL
But, good parenting!
Ive done a lot of driving on the PA TP, most of it on the NE Ext and the eastern end between Valley Forge and the NJ TP exit, where its usually bumper-to-bumper at 75 MPH (except during rush hour when its either 80 MPH or a parking lot when theres an accident).
So Im impressed, not just by your daughters success, but also by your courage.
How long was it until your butt cheeks unclenched? :-)
Bit of a leap of faith but in glad you gave her a baptism by fire, no better way in most situations.
Bet you were white knuckles all the way.
