Re: driving

^^ which car is it? :D

tip dainey k leyee browser ko park kerna parhta hai na aur phir U turn… :slight_smile:

Take her to an empty parking lot and tell her to make circles, go drive left and right.

Potential empty parking lots for after hours practice:

  • Malls.
  • Schools.

Good luck. :-)

Re: driving

^ Yea , don’t use official car for personal purposes . :smack:

Re: driving

Open fields are best as mentioned above. Try to avoid poles. A circular track is also a good spot for these.

Ask her not to look down at the steering wheel. :hehe:

Someday it will be a habit for her how much to turn. It’s just the beginning.

It’s like learning anything.

Re: driving

Tell her women are not meant to drive. That solves that problem.

Re: driving

I remember the first time my abbu took me out for driving lessons and the car ended up in a ditch (well it wasn’t a very big ditch). Anyway, it had to be towed out lol

Suhaina, when I was learning to drive, the prescribed way of holding the steering wheel was at the 10 to 2 position or the quarter to 3 position, turning the wheel was done in a shuffle fashion but the golden rule was that you didn’t cross your hands i.e. left hand to the left side of the wheel, right hand to the right side.

Re: driving

look, if shes not got the idea of the steering wheel by looking at it, please please dont proceed further in teaching her :)

Re: driving

nah im only joking, let her practice the pull and push technique, where the hands stay more or less in the same position (at 9 and 3 oclock position, or 9.30 and 2.30) whilst turning the wheel

Re: driving

If steering is the main problem get her one of those driving games and wheel for playstation or whatever console u have to practise with..

OK! And how many do you know who learned this way to drive? :smack: :hehe:

Learning to fly is much more serious and dangerous but a majority of people still learn the beginning lessons for it without computer aid.

Real experience, with an instructor (relative or paid) is the best way to learn to drive. :stuck_out_tongue:

Use an extra seat or two for her to sit on and be higher so that she have a better view of things around her. :p

Only because she is not getting the idea of the** steering wheel**, of course it’s not going to do much for the rest of her driving .. If she is having difficulty grasping something as basic as how much the car turns using the steering wheel and is only really ok going in a straight line she needs all the help she can get imo..

Re: driving

Don't use a car with power steering. Definitely go to a big parking lot, like for an athletic stadium. When you're in a big empty space, have her hold the wheel at 10 and 2, but YOU turn the steering wheel, so she can see how far one needs to turn it to accomplish how much turn. Just do curves at first, then go finer. And don't come to my city...

Lolz I Kinda Agree with u there

what u should do is either buy a PS3 with GAME CALLED Need for speed and
steering wheel
ask er to drive on tat
that's probably the safest way without wasting any innocent blood :D
