> 3. My dad is horrible when it comes to yelling and/or swearing at me while I practice driving. Any way to calm him down to a reasonable degree? (Or should I just find someone else to tutor me? heh...)

I had this exact same problem when I was learning to drive. Me and my father just don't get on well enough for him to be able to teach me to drive. In the end I decided I didn't want to learn to drive that badly (I couldn't afford professional lessons back then), and I've never felt the loss since then so I still don't drive.
