Since Di has driven our coach (the first one) and has chosen to not drive any more (she doesn't like the responsibility although she did great), she knows there is a lot to this. The professional drivers in this group will agree that driving up and down the roads in the campground will not prepare a new driver for narrow construction lanes, parking, turns, and managing the energy of a 45,000 pound bus.

I think the idea is excellent, but except to introduce the feel of it to the wives, driving is something that an entire rally can be dedicated to. That would give the ladies (or gentlemen) sufficient time behind the wheel over a several day period to learn all of the necessary skills. That should be conducted by a professional driver or trainer and the students should have the learner's permits if their state requires them. I think the training should take place in the student's own bus.

Since a lot of states now require a special license (usually a non-commercial class B) that is another consideration before going out on the highways at this rally.
