STOP, STOP, STOP

Sunday March 20th - first driving experience! Started out with coasting and turning then with a small amount of speed. Something I started with Miss Daisy #1 is what I call "Stop, Stop, Stop." Since I have no way of stopping the car in case of an error on Miss Daisy's side, I use this technique to TRY and keep us out of trouble. I explain when I say it, I want Miss Daisy to STOMP on the brake and do it unexpectedly throughout the driving training. I actually used it riding with Miss Daisy #1 this week. We were passing Pearland Parkway heading east on Broadway when an SUV in the left turn lane decided they wanted to go straight as we were approaching the intersection. I noticed it's front wheels turn right as they started to pull into our lane and shouted the "Stop, Stop, Stop" out of habit. We were able to stop in time barely missing the collision! YES IT WORKS!

So I've uploaded a small - 10min - video of the first lesson to YouTube and can be viewed here. Not much to see but listen around 2:25 as I explain the "Stop, Stop, Stop" procedure.
