My 16 year old son took driving lessons at 911 Driving School - Columbia. I knew I would not be able to teach him to drive without scaring him to death. We heard about 911 Driving School from a friend, and our experience with them was great. I felt comfortable with police officers teaching him how to drive. He took both the lessons and the driving test with him, and he now has his license.
I think my son felt more comfortable than I did with his lessons. He gained more confidence with those guys than he would have driving with me. There's no way I could have taught him. I think if you have a new driver you should consider 911 Driving School. It alleviates the pressure of a parent and child trying to do lessons together. But it doesn't take the parent away, it just gives the new driver the confidence they need as they learn without having a parent barking directions from the passenger seat.
