How should we make driving practice more difficult over time?
Passenger Support → Practice Coach → Independent Driver Support
QUICK ANSWER
Difficulty can come from more traffic, higher speeds, more complicated intersections, unfamiliar roads, reduced visibility, and less prompting.
WHAT THAT MEANS
You do not need to add all challenges at once.
SUPPORTING ANSWER SECTIONS
Change one variable
Make it possible to understand what created the difficulty.
Watch performance
See whether observation, speed control, or decision-making breaks down.
Step back if needed
Returning to a simpler environment is part of learning.
