Both my wife and daughter have absolutely no desire to get behind the wheel. I have had them behind the wheel of my car a couple of times, but as far as getting their license, they have no interest. I'm just showing them what they need to do if I were to have a medical emergency behind the wheel.
The main thing for them is to get control of the motorhome steering and, at least, get it in neutral quickly first. With it in neutral, cruise gets disengaged and they can, even in a panic, try to hit the brake, but won't get themselves in further trouble if they slam the gas by mistake. It's not as easy as moving me over and out of the way since I'll be strapped in, they should have hands on the wheel, I'm in the neighbourhood of 270lbs and they don't weigh much more than a popcorn fart. Just get control of the steering, get it on the shoulder and slowed to a stop, even if it's only neutral getting it done.
