Chinese wife trying to learn to drive...how can we help her?

This driving "school" is NOT doing her ANY JUSTICE whatsoever in even learning the basics of driving! I feel you are doing nothing but WASTING YOUR money! What in the world is she going to do driving "on her own", she's like an accident waiting to happen! I'm sorry to put it so bluntly to you, but I just feel for HER safety & for the safety of OTHERS, she is NOT ready by all means to be driving on the road. I lived 30 min. from Boston, KNOW too well what the traffic is like in that area & being a driver for umpteen yrs., I myself didn't like driving in the Boston area...far too many "one way" streets that ARE confusing to an experienced driver! I'm simply concerned for her welfare period. Perhaps your daughter could be of help to her when she takes her drivers lessons & it would be far more effective! She is NOT safe at all on the roads, especially in the areas she must drive in, as I am far too familiar with your area! From taking as many lessons as she's already taken, she should certainly KNOW which side of the road to drive on & also of the speed limits she should be going. I didn't even have that many lessons myself in drivers ed. in school & have been a VERY good defensive driver, have driven for 56 yrs. & NEVER got one single ticket in my whole driving career! Yes, granted I have done speeding on quiet back roads ONLY the ones I'm familiar with however, so I'm far from being a "saint" so to speak. However I did get good defensive driving thru school. IF your wife still has MORE "lessons" you've yet to pay for, I'm sorry to say I feel you just are throwing your money out the window & IF ONLY someone could get thru to her about it, it sure would save you money. Let your daughter take her out in a quieter section of your area & teach her how to drive, it would definitely be to ALL your benefits. I DO feel sorry for you footing a bill where they are totally "taking you over" & they MUST BE well aware of it. To me, they are NOT a reputable company! IF IF you could just reason with her, suggest your daughter get her license & let HER teach her mother how to drive properly this WOULD do you ALL a justice! See IF she'd be willing to do this, maybe you could use the "ploy" you want to save money since you'll be paying for2 to learn how to drive, you could actually save yourselves some money. HOPEFULLY you could reason to her in this manner as most folks DO want to save money IF/WHEN they can...the best to you...:)
