Driving Lesson Timeline: A Coaching Guide for Parents

Help your teen receive 50 or more hours of varied practice driving with you or a trusted adult before going out on the road alone.

This section provides a sample lesson timeline and a list of discussion topics. You may want to use a Driving Practice Log to keep track weekly of how many hours you and your teen have driven together. You also may want to jot down skills practiced, those mastered, and new ones to work on.
