*Jim and others, this is not a cut.*
I find the emphasis at many driving schools are to have fun.
Little or no classroom instruction and enough in-car instruction so 
you don't kill yourself out there. Unfortunately some people are 
soloed before their time as it is a right of passage. Maybe for the 
sake of having more fun. I have turned down solo opportunities for 
more instruction. Maybe I'm just a slow learner. <g>

The fun part for me is the instruction and feedback from an instructor.
So Chris, learn something out there. It may save your life.
I think it got me out of a bad situation. I totalled my car on a 
country road but walked away without a scratch.
