[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get the 16-year-old a driver's license and a car and let him take care of himself.

Both of you are trying to helicopter and micromanage his life, and he's old enough to start contributing and controlling some aspects of his own life.[/quote]

Driving would not address this issue. There is graduated licensing where i live and you need a licensed adult with you for the first year and cant drive on highways. He would need to take the highway. Also, my sister is paying several thousands to add her teen onto car insurance.[/quote]

So it's too hard to have him be independent, so you'll keep doing this for him? Good insight into what's going wrong with younger generations.

(And if you don't live in the DC region, why don't you post on a forum where people know your state's draconian laws?)[/quote]

I never asked people to weigh in on driving options. I asked where people stood on separate drop offs.
This has nothing to do with teen driving.
His schedule wont always be like this.[/quote]
