driving lesson

Behind-the-wheel training

A driving lesson is a session of instruction in operating a motor vehicle, typically with a professional instructor or experienced driver in the passenger seat.

Learners take driving lessons to prepare for their licensing exam: She's had six driving lessons but still can't parallel park.

The term extends figuratively to any experience that teaches someone how to navigate situations.
