Being the co-driver. <breathes>

[Polonium]

My 18 year old son has his driving test next week. He's had more than sixty driving lessons … possibly more than eighty. His driving instructor said he's not quite ready for his test but has been unable to fit in more lessons, he has only been able to do one hour slot a week. Son is off to uni in 3 weeks (he won't need a car so it doesn't matter if he fails) but it will be difficult for him to restart driving lessons.

Anyway, I thought I'd take matters into my own hands by insuring our little car for him so he can do masses of driving (with me as his driving companion) in preparation for next week's test and get him to take his test in our little car.

I had no idea it would be so hard. Does anyone have any tips? I'm ordinarily a calm person but being his co-driver is making me feel shouty.
Does anyone have any tips? We've done about 10 hours so far. And plan to do at lest another 10 hours before the test.

Special subject: I assumed you meant hard of hearing but I see now you meant to convey the fact that he may be a poor listener, and you tried to so in obsolete Middle English. It may be so, but there's no history of that being the case.

He's made massive progress in the last few days, I can only conclude that something was wrong with their instructor:pupil relationship. i wasn't present for the 80 lessons so I have no idea if the instructor is at fault or if there was something wrong with the dynamic. i just write the cheques.
