    In AZ you only have to take a mutiple choice test to get your permit. To get your liceanse, your parents must certify in writing you have driven at least 30hours.

    I remember well my first stint in a car with the driver's ed teacher. It was the typical partking-lot scenario with a course outlined in rubber cones. The first thing he said to me, I still do to this day. He said, "When you come to a turn, slow down during the approach, and start to accelerate when you're almost out of it." It worked well enough that it stuck with me.

    Good luck!

    Beer for the nerves, and remember most cars don't drive well under 65mph

    Extra pair of "underoos" (like everyone else)?....Uuumm, no beer until you ace it?.......Don't close your eyes?

    OK dude. The "old" guy has a gravy job. He doesn't wanna be there with a rambuctious kid about to pee himself anymore than you wanna be with this old dude that smells like coffee & fried chicken.
    If you've driven around and know how to back up, parallell park, 4way Stop (who has the right of way?), blah, blah....no sweat kid. Pay attention, ask questions & just be respectful. They basically want to see if you're safe, mindful of the other cars/pedestrians on the road, follow the laws, can operate the car.
    sollie had a rough time and he's got like a 2.09 GPA but he aced it without projectile vomitting or, well, you know.
    :laugh5: Just messing with you c-kid. Be calm and cruise, thats it!! We expect a full report.
    Good Luck!!
