What is the best way to handle a student who becomes anxious or panicked during a behind-the-wheel lesson?

1. Tell them to calm down and continue driving through the stressful situation
2. Calmly direct them to pull over safely, then discuss the situation and provide reassurance
3. End the lesson immediately without any discussion of what triggered the anxiety — instructors should pull over safely before addressing student panic.
4. Ignore the anxiety and continue the lesson exactly as originally planned
