I agree, the more time that you put in, the more you will get to know what HIS/HER driving will be like, and you can instill lessons that aren't necessarily covered in drivers ed. Think about the lessons you learned over the years, and think of what they will HAVE to learn on their own
The most important thing I would stress is that when they are behind the wheel, THEY are responsible for whatever they do while driving.
Sure, there are things that will be out of their control, but it's up to them to be in control at all times.
That means NO DRINKING, NO TEXTING/CELL PHONES, NO "MULTI-TASKING" and NO LETTING SOMEONE "BORROW" THE VEHICLE!
I hope they pay attention and become a safe and knowledgeable driver!
