Driving Lessons

Sooozie1964

Hi there

I'm new to this community.  I was wondering if anyone has had experience of their young adult taking driving lessons?  My son is 19 and wants to learn to drive and he has learning difficulties associated with his Autism along with lacking general focus, struggles with multiple instructions and concentration.  

Thanks for your help

    I had similar issues, throughout my life, but didn't pass the driving test until I was 28.

    Focus has always been a major issue for me, as well as struggles with steering and manoeuvring, but he needs practice - outside of driving lessons; God knows how much was spent trying to get me to pass; even back then, it was daylight robbery.

    One reason I never drive in a city is confusion surrounding multiple lanes; leading onto roundabouts.

    Again, practice on your own terms - for your son - might be more effective, and definitely less expensive, than driving lessons.
