I saw DS's friend driving without a license: what should I do?

[Anonymous]

myob. Depending on family situations kids can get their license early.

I would myob. Even if true, you have no idea the family dynamics going on there. Best to leave it alone and let ot shake out on its own.

If he was driving by himself (vs a carload of friends), he is probably 16. Why don't you ask your child how old the friend is? Is there a public record of birth dates?

I would probably, lightly, mention it to his parents: “So cool that Larkin is the first of his friends to get his license. Time really flies! I thought he was only 15.”

Same.

All you people saying MYOB, I hope you’re never the victim of an accident caused by an unlicensed driver. This isn’t like, you saw Suzy having a smoke at the mall. It’s a real safety concern.

Who’s car was it? That’d be my primary curiosity cause if he’s unlicensed then he either stole a vehicle or took his parents car without permission.

Op doesn't know that he's unlicensed. She doesn't know his age. She's making a guess based on his school year.

But the odds are that OP is wrong about the kid being unlicensed and is just looking for something to be dramatic about. You both need to unclench.

Good God, you're horrible. Say what you mean and mean what you say, already. Don't hint around. Jesus.

Our daughter was 16 entering 10th grade. We moved after first grade and thought it best to repeat the year. I'm not sure if she ever knew it!

Possibly red shirted OP, you have no idea how old he is until you ask him.

From the op:


[b]From what I saw, he was driving just fine and didn't seem like he was in danger of getting into an accident.

So, doesn't sound like he is a bad driver. Also, you can be hit by anyone not just inexperienced drivers.

To the op:

Who would you call to turn in the kid? Wouldn't you feel embarrassed if you find out that you were wrong and they knew it was you?

So my DD took our car out when she does not have license (only learners) and was told by neighbor. It may have been a dozen times and I had no clue. I now hide the keys when we are out (mainly after school, we have three cars). I was glad to know before DD got more bold and took it past neighborhood coffee shop.

I’d rather be safe than sorry when it comes to a possible unlicensed teen driver driving a death machine around the streets. The way PP phrased this is not accusatory and it’s a way to determine if he DOES have a license without being offensive.
