Initially, occasional use of the family vehicle is a much wiser approach. Traditionally, parents have assumed the role of driving teacher. Unfortunately, the job isn't getting done in some cases, whether it be due to not taking enough time or perhaps not being available. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation's Division of Motor Vehicles will now supply a log to help parents track the hours they spend with the learners. Although use of the log won't be required, certification that the practice driving requirement has been met will.
New drivers are usually eager to join the motoring public.
Once they've accomplished the basics, they may have a sense of false confidence about their driving abilities. Receiving their regular license can serve to perpetuate this. A minimal amount of supervision and guidance doesn't help to keep overconfidence in check. That's why a phased-in licensing procedure makes sense. The potential for accidents to be prevented and lives saved should make the wait for full driving privileges that's part of the GDL system worthwhile.
