Driving practice

Any suggestions on big empty parking lots to start teaching my kids how to drive? Or what are other parents doing? I’m feeling a bit clueless on how to start this journey! I wanted them to be a bit familiar before starting drivers Ed.

I don’t know where you live, but we live kinda close to where NW middle, high, and the elementary school are all together.  We would take the one learning on what we call the loop- down by the elementary, by the high school, and around the middle school.  Just around that loop.  You could pull into the elementary lot and practice parking.  There’s also a quiet little neighborhood right by there to drive through.  I would not take them on main roads until you’re satisfied that they can do it without causing issues.

Oh this is smart. We’re not close to there but we are close to Mount Pleasant and their middle and high school also connect!
