If you have another car. let her drive that one

 

Under 18 yrs old, have to get 50hrs driving,signed off, with licensed driver, before you get license.
That rolling stop thing could`ve been the teller for you, Dad. Being a firefighters son doesn`t help/count the moments before the big Boom.
Being too eager too give your veh. to your kid , has messed up a lotta days.

 

So...how did your daughter do on the test for her DL?

 

She got the license with no problems, except a 2 hour wait, and we had an appointment. We had to go by the insurance company to sign her up. They give all young drivers a lecture on safety, etc. I left work at 2:15, and we got home at 5:30. What a mess! She drove the Monte Carlo to Wal-Mart by herself last night. Thank you all for thinking of me yesterday. I know now how my parents felt when I was 16. BTW, SIHHR, she definitely doesn't get to drive the HHR for a while.

 

Glad to hear all went well with her test. Sounds like your state has some good laws in effect. It's very scary when a child gets a drivers license...I remember when mine did. And to think, my grandson who is 11 now will be getting his in 5 years.

Things wil be fine and it sounds like you've go your bases covered. As long as kids understand what a huge responsibility driving a car is, that's half the battle. One thing I did remind my kids of was, driving is a privilege and not a right...and if you abuse the privilege, it can be taken away. Never had any problems with my girls with that philosophy.
