My daughter will be taking the wheel come this October and I’m trying to prepare for this. Aside from the mental anguish caused by the thought of my baby girl driving, I guess I have to come to terms with it. She is counting the days and I don’t really know all the details of the process ahead.
So far, she’s taking an online course that she seems to be doing well in. I am assuming then we’ll hit the DMV in October to get her permit. Next, driving school. Behind the wheel training. Now here’s where I’d like some input from you all.
What’s the best driving school in Santa Clarita? Or who is the best instructor? I’ve seen a few different driving schools around, but I’d love some recommendations if they are available.
