    Hi Mick,

    I have pondered this numerous times too.
    My wife grew up on a very small island with no cars and no roads.

    Still, she seems to get around Cebu City and crosses roads OK.

    I think patience and empowerment will be the two main things.

    I am quite looking forward to it, when my wife will have the courage to try.
    I will take her to a big empty space first and go through the gear excercise very slowly.
    It is scary for all of us at first, but when I drive artics around, the slow speed some learner drivers go at is amazing at times. I stay well back though, it's frightening enough for the experienced drivers to see.
    I always stop to let them out if I can, the instructors always give me the "thumbs up".

    I think anyone can pass the test given time and money for lessons.
    Well maybe not everyone.
    I wonder what she'd be like behind the wheel! :

    That's what I did. We used to go to the Coventry City FC car park which at the time used to be left open and I just taught her to steer round and around in the car park and change up and down through the gears. I think that teaching the basics in a big open space can save a lot of money in the initial stages of the learning to drive process, but after that I left it to the experts and booked her up for driving lessons.
