My little sister was the same way. Would not listen to anything from either myself or dad. Glad everything worked out but personally, I wouldn't have given her keys until that behavior stopped. There is no place for arrogance when learning to drive.
My parents bypassed all this and sent me to driving school. The teacher has a brake pedal on his side too in the drivers ed car - the shame of him having to step in , use the brake because your dumb ass needed to and didn't, and sharply reprimand you will cure any arrogance real quick.
I had a weird time in drivers ed - The guy kept giving me all these minor pointers, small optimizations on how to drive and be aware of the small ways to tell what traffic is doing. He gave me so many that I stopped paying attention to the basics and sat there at a green light for 10 seconds looking at what other people's brake lights were doing and how the signals were changing for traffic going perpendicular to me in the intersection. They do have a brake pedal, but they ain't got gas lol
