ot: letting your wife be taught by a professional driving teacher from a driving school might prove to be cost effective. he knows the drill. and most importantly, sakaling magkasagian in the course of the practice, its their car that get damaged, not yours.

after that, just help your wife polish her driving skills.

as you know, the most difficult part in learning to drive is the neutral to first gear and back cycle. so in the meantime, let your wife experience what it feels to kick the clutch and the break pedals and and let her practice pushing the gas pedal up to but not exceeding 2000 rpm - without looking at the panel indicator - holding it there for a while before lifting her toes from it. this can be done at home. if she has familiarized herself with all those, she will be able to accelerate her learning procees at the driving school.

mahirap maghanap ng open area (or parking area) for practice driving. maraming barumbando sa daan kahit saan. and without any poster at the front and back of your car saying a driver student is on board, the other drivers might not exercise extra ordinary precaution in passing your car.

good luck.
