I hated driving. I didn't want to learn and I got my license a couple days before my permit was to expire because I was trying to avoid the process. What I should have done was...
1. Start practicing where no one is around (solves the embarrassment problem).
2. Start with an automatic transmission so there is one less thing to worry about.
3. Expand the driving situations as the teen grows more comfortable.
4. Get a good driving instructor
I learned almost the exact opposite and my driving instructor was bad. A friend of mine owns a driving school in the Los Angeles area and I have heard good things about their instructors. I wish they were around when I was learning.
