A driving course would be my preference

See the centre median northbound next to the RAV4 in this street view: https://goo.gl/maps/NghJVG4QEy67uxgk7
My wife managed to drive over it while making a left turn northbound and blew out the front left tire b/c of it.
I need to find her some driving courses. | Sounds like you need to take the keys away....

Have you tried using visual/physical models to explain how much space a car commands and how it moves?
I've found that a lot of times bad drivers or inconfident parkers, is because they don't have a good sense of spatial awareness and a good sense of how the vehicle actually interacts in a 3D plane, if that makes sense?
Grab a Maisto 1/24 or heck even some hotwheels if desperate or whatever and lay out some scenarios. Have them handle the model in different scenarios and see if that could help them understand movement/turning radius etc etc.

People with no spatial awareness can not be taught. If you wanna have a laugh, ask her how tall she thinks a standard door in your house is.
She'll either say 5 feet or 15 meters.
