Back country roads are a great place to start driving. This was the case for both Josh and Chris. We were on our trip in Idaho. I stopped the car while on a dirt road and let Josh drive for quite a ways. Then Chris got his chance also. They both did pretty good for the first time behind the wheel. (of course there was no traffic to deal with). I think I did ok as a mom "advising" them on what to do.

Josh had a little trouble knowing how hard to push the gas to start and the brake to stop. He said they were "sensitive" and he didn't know how hard to push the peddle down. Chris thought it was "easy" till he got distracted looking at the scenery and had to brake hard to avoid the car in front of us. Yep, they both have a lot to learn still.
