Oh! My! God! The first person I ever taught to drive was 5' 2" (157 cm) tall, weighed about 100 lbs (45 kg) soaking wet and she had the patience of... well, forgetaboutit! No patience at all.

I taught her to drive in a full size car and has two pillows under her bum and the seat all the way forward with a pillow behind her back. She sat almost exactly as shown in your picture and to make matters worse, it was a stick shift and her legs were short so she could barely push the clutch pedal in far enough to shift!

By the time I finally got her to the point where she could take the drivers test, I was a friggin' nervous wreck!

@Mooed78 Surprisingly enough she aced the written and only got a couple of points off for shaky parallel parking. The guy who took her on the road test said she was one of the best he had ever tested. What?!?!?!

@Ontheroad sounds like she had a good teacher even though he was sweating it lol

@Mooed78 We talked about it later and turns out she was even more nervous than I was - she said it was because I was her boyfriend and she felt like she was making a fool out of herself. Turns out it isn't a good idea to teach someone to drive that you are close to.
