Driving is very serious business, and my kids are responsible for the people in their car. I don't expect that they are irresponsible, but they are easily distracted at this age. We'll have to agree to disagree!My New Happyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00912544717011410371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3476608325432503181.post-72248609672595454852014-06-25T17:40:31.130-07:002014-06-25T17:40:31.130-07:00I find that teens should be able to drive with as ...I find that teens should be able to drive with as many kids as the law permits. If you find them irresponsible, then you can set a limit. But never set a limit from the very start, or your child will start to hate your laws, and break them. THere is no need to punish them before they even start.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3476608325432503181.post-43175670979481595672014-06-01T22:00:00.911-07:002014-06-01T22:00:00.911-07:00Thanks Aubrey.

Even teens who are good drivers and following the rules are at risk - because there are so drivers out there who are not!

He's had his permit almost a year and he is going to get his license as soon as school is out. And I am nervous. He'll be driving back and forth to his summer job and I am sure some "fun" activities as well. I saw the statistics you quoted too...nerve wracking!
