Anyone else having firsthand knowledge please give suggestions. HELP ME :crying::angry::wacko:

I am a very patient person, however, when the gas pedal is confused with the BRAKES it becomes a problem!!!

At this point, I am not sure that we need to peruse this anymore.

I am sure that professional help will be frightened. Without brakes on the passenger side, it is like a suicide mission.....

No matter what the cost have someone else teach her!!!

I tried and ended up hooked on valium as I could only give my pinay wife driving lessons loaded on them.

:jest: get professional help... Before I met my husband I was already driving in Metro Manila area and the nearby province for 8 years, but when I got here it took 3 months before he let me drive and him to sit on the passenger side. The first time I gave him a ride, he kissed the ground, so thankful that we were able to get home alive. Actually, I hate him yelling at me to "STOP," "Go!" etc... I hate it. So now, he doesn't have a wife but a housekeeper, finance manager and a DRIVER...

Goodluck....

There needs to be a third party involved. I tried to teaching thing with Nani - I don't really like to remember them days. I ended up hiring a professional instructor and that seemed to help. She took forever to learn and is still only going to a few nearby places on her own. Women just shouldn't drive.

Get her one of those green cars that can only go 5 mph.
