My sympathies, Furza. My 2 oldest grandsons are BOTH taking their driver's tests on Friday. The oldest is going to be 20 in Sept. and the younger is 17. The 17 year old has been saying since he was about 14 that he would get his license before his brother, so you can be sure he will be in line first so he can say he beat his older brother in getting a drivers license. The older one will be driving to VT (Virginia Tech) in his 15 year old Lexus. I worry because he isn't very attentive when it comes to driving. A very smart kid but not comfortable behind the wheel. The 17 year old will be driving a 10 year old Jaguar. Poor kids :roll: :roll:

It won't help!...they wait for moments when the pills are wearing off to nail us...been there, done that....never want to do it again...
BTW, you may want to yank the radio out of whatever car she will be driving in the future....oldest son managed to wipe out 5 parked cars while tuning in a station on the radio.

Well, I have another 90 days before I will have to ask again. She didnt pass her written test. :( So we will revisit this in 3 months. Thanks for all the suggestions. HUGS!

It is just one of the trials of growing up. I think I lost more sleep over that one than any. She did a great job. She is now 38, her daughter is now 15 so we will she how she handles it in the coming year........
