Wow!
Americans learn how to drive:
1. high school driving classes
2. family/friends teach them
3. private driving schools

2. If yes, did you use an interpreter?
No, we have driving school for the deaf. That's why we do not need interpreter.
Do you mean the instructor is deaf?

4. If you used a terp, how did you use the terp? (That is, where did the terp sit in the car, etc.)
Yeah, I thought the same... It's unpossible for deaf to consider terp during driving lesson.
My hubby joined hearing driving school and has no problem without terp because the instructor use body gesture and lipread to make him understand easy.
Did hubby actually look at the instructor's face for lipreading while the car was moving?

5. Any other suggestions?
I can't suggest anything because I don't live in America. It's simple suggestion is go driving school for the deaf because the instructor can sign.
I'm afraid we don't have deaf driving school here.
