necessary ID. The 2nd is to go to DMV and get a manual for him to study for him to get his permit.Then I would take him for a drive in an empty parking lot, so he can learn the gas, brakes, and controls of a car and their purpose. As you are driving him, point out the different signs and what they mean. Let him know why you are doing certain things.
