Learning to drive in a TL

Hi All,

So I've decided that I will teach my Fiance how to drive in our 3rd Gen TL.
I live in Brooklyn, NY & i'd like to know from anyone if they could suggest an open area or huge parking lot in the tri-state area or certain parts of Jersey where I can teach her? I tried teaching her in our Accord Coupe, but she crashed into another car on her first attempt. So please anyone, any open areas without car would be great.

Garden State Plaza in Paramus on Sundays you'll have the whole mall to yourself since it is closed on Sundays. Huge parking lots, if she hits something there dont let her touch a car ever again.

Floyd Bennett Field is a great spot fr teaching people to drive, lots of open space there. In case you cant find it online, its off of flatbush ave, right before the marine parkway bridge.

thats the place, its open to the public for the most part, when you drive past the gates you should turn left and drive to the end and you'll see the big roads

i take my gf there from time to time to learn how to drive

Werd, but I suggest you tell her to take transportation service, she shouldn't be driving at all........

True, she shouldnt be driving, but on long trips, I am sick of driving. Also, because I live in Brooklyn, there's this alt side parking crap, and she's home earlier than I am to find a park.
