Interesting Sunday Driving Lesson Over 50 year Old

I picked up my elderly lady learner driver after her Sunday afternoon church service, and wasn't sure what to expect, as her last driving lesson was about 6 weeks ago.

All in all she is progressing well, considering her age and the fact that she is usually nervous before her driving lessons.
