The time has come again for a teenager in our home to get a driver's license. It is funny how different kids are. My first scheduled her appointment for the written test. She always asked if she could drive, scheduled her appointment for the driving test, and has been driving safely ever since.
She was in one accident where another driver backed into her. That driver did not have insurance and it happened in a parking lot, which is private property, so she didn't even get a ticket.
About a week after getting (and paying) for the repairs she hit a tow hitch and put a hole in the front bumper. She has to pay for that one.
So here we are, teenager #2. She asked me to make the appointment seven months after she was allowed. For the first five months of having her permit she hardly asked to drive at all. The last three months she put it in high gear, asking everytime we got in the vehicle. My personal policy is to always say yes unless there is a real reason to say no. As soon as the twelve months of having her permit were up she asked me to make the appointment for her driving test. I wasn't sure she was ready, but I wasn't worried- I was pretty confident whe wouldn't pass.
That was my first mistake...
