“He didn’t just teach her how to pass a driving test”
“But I have so much relief knowing that she has been equipped with the knowledge, skills, and experience she needs to handle herself behind the wheel.”
Lindsay shared this after Rozlyn earned her license, following a year of hands-on training with her grandfather using Behind the Wheel Skills.
This story reflects Rozlyn’s experience with personal coaching from Clay alongside the course.

Just want to give a HUGE shout-out to my dad, Clay Harrell, for the time, patience, and dedication he has spent training Rozlyn how to drive this past year through his defensive driving course, Behind The Wheel Skills.
He didn’t just teach her how to pass a driving test — he extensively trained her in all conditions and exposed her to every type of driving situation he could.
Rozlyn got her license Friday morning, and that very night she had the confidence to drive to Nashville for her birthday dinner. Saturday, she drove to and from Opry Mills. Sunday, she drove to Bowling Green, KY to drop off her friend, and Saturday night she drove to Murfreesboro to see a friend.
I honestly don’t know how many 16-year-olds would have the skills and confidence to get behind the wheel and go all of those places so soon after getting their license!
Yes, as a parent, I’m still going to worry every single time she pulls out of the driveway. But I have so much relief knowing that she has been equipped with the knowledge, skills, and experience she needs to handle herself behind the wheel.
And the best part? Her road test instructor told me that she doesn’t see teen drivers like Rozlyn anymore. She said Rozlyn only missed one small point on her entire test — in the parking lot for not putting on her turn signal going into her parking spot.
Dad, thank you for investing so much time into her and for giving her the driving foundation that will benefit her for the rest of her life. We appreciate you more than you know!
