[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Ask him what would happen if he gets a summer job not in Boston that required a car?[/b]  It is hard to get practice hours in once you go to college.[/quote] Why on earth would someone without a car take a job that required a car.  C'mon people, use some common sense. [/quote]

I think the point is that he could be offered a job or at least an interview and then have to turn it down. Point being, it will limit his employment opportunities. It’s competitive out there so why would you do that for a stupid reason like not learning to drive.

[/quote] C'mon, have you ever heard of this happening?  Me neither.  I'm sure some 18 yo's have been inconvenienced by not having a driver's license, but I really don't think this is a catastrophe in the making.  Neither of my kids got their licenses until after college.   It did not have one negative impact on them.  I don't see why a kid MUST get a license at 18.  What's wrong with waiting a few years?  Honestly, I preferred that my kids not be behind the wheel during college; I'm actually glad they waited.[/quote]

How do they get the 50 + hours of practices needed at college when parents are  not around[/quote]

Once you're behind a certain age, you don't need proof of driving hours. My older kid took his test in college and did a few private lessons and some practice with us. The younger one did it in high school and had to keep a diary of all practice hours.[/quote]
