MSF - just because you can do something doesn't mean you can teach others to do it. Let someone trained give her the basics and you can help from there.

My girlfriend keeps talking about wanting to get her license at some point.
She will be taking the MSF if I have to pay for it and drive her there.

This is perhaps along the lines of the answer I was looking for.

Taking a course? lol.

I personally have never taken a course in anything, and I think if I elevated this to the level of gravity of "taking a course", it probably wouldn't get far.

Ya, no point in trying to teach her yourself, you have anger and crying to look forward to.

Ya, but your like most of us, no doubt. Grew up driving anything and everything. This chick has never driven a standard. You might be best springing for the course. Women dont learn the same way we do, and they resent learning from boyfriends, in my experience.

Skip the riding, and teach her to open beer and bring sammiches!

She has problems operating the radio.

I know this from trying to teach my ex-wife to drive.

Talk about fucking hopeless. Took a driving course instructor to pull it off...so yes, I remember well what you describe.

This may be the best answer of all.

i was going to say that its not that difficult to teach a loved one and avoid being banished to the couch but if shes that bad go ahead and pass the buck.

I'd still give her the choice to take a course from a pro. We all know your bias against schooling, but it might not be a bad idea in her case.
