How should we practice between DRIVEx lessons?

Passenger Support → Practice Coach → Independent Driver Support

QUICK ANSWER

Practice time should reinforce what the learner recently worked on instead of becoming random driving with no goal.

WHAT THAT MEANS

A DRIVEx lesson can introduce or improve a skill; family practice can provide repetition.
