My oldest had her restricted for a year and has had her "real" license for 10 months now...
Everyone is either out to kill you, or be killed by you in a suicide attempt. Keep your eyes open and constantly checking all mirrors and blind spots.
Local law enforcement runs a 2 day class on accident avoidance and such, she can take it after having her license for a year - I plan on us doing that one together. Also, the college I work for has a police academy, the director out there owes me, so I'm going to ask him about the possibility of her getting an hour with their instructor at some point soonish.
Of course, when I learned how to drive (in the 356!) it was "dammit, keep your foot on the gas in the corners" and "dammit, keep the rpms up" when starting off from a stop.
Strangely enough a few years later when dad bought the 911 ('84 M491 coupe) he was complaining I was babying it too much - "dammit, get the rpms up there before you shift - you have 1k more to go before you start loosing the power curve than you do in the 356!"
Driving like the parents? I've never even been pulled over while in a car (once on foot, once on a 10 speed), the wife gets a ticket every 18 months or so
