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 wasn’t worried about their driving so much as everyone else on the roads. Doesn’t 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!

I’ve 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 it’s usually bumper-to-bumper at 75 MPH (except during rush hour when it’s either 80 MPH or a parking lot when there’s an accident).

So I’m impressed, not just by your daughter’s success, but also by your courage.

How long was it until your butt cheeks unclenched? :-)

Cold, but effective! Hate to know how you taught her to swim...😉

Bit of a leap of faith but in glad you gave her a baptism by fire, no better way in most situations.
