Driving??????) Re: The future of our children

[Guest guest]

Our son is turning 17 in two weeks, and although he's definitely shown an

interest in learning to drive, he seems to be perfectly comfortable with not

getting his license until he's 18. My biggest concern isn't his driving ability,

but the ability to not get distracted while driving. I can envision him driving

along and deciding to mess with the radio or something, or sees something that

catches his interest other than the road and other drivers. I'm praying that by

the time he's 18, that he'll be a bit more mature and ready for the

responsibility.

tried one time to let him drive the car down the block. He got very upset

frustrated etc. So I didn't push it.
