It will help if, when they learned to drive an automatic, they were
taught to only use their right foot for braking.  A good idea anyway
for beginning drivers as it reduces the possibility they will try to
brake and accelerate at the same time.

Parking lots are good -- cemetaries (off weekend) may also be peaceful
winding roads.

Had a friend teaching his wife to drive in his Morris Minor in a
parking lot.  Had her drive towards a light pole and turn just after
it -- she cleared the pole by 30 feet.

He said 'Good, but this time try to get closer to the pole'.  She sure did.

Good luck.
