[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think one of the problems around here is that as soon as teenagers get their license, parents give them free range. My child recently got their drivers license, and they are only allowed to drive to and from school, places that are nearby that they’ve been before, etc.🏫 , and during daylight hours. This will keep up for a few months until they prove that they are ready for more. They also are not allowed to listen to music while they drive right now. All of the stuff is trackable and I make sure that they follow these rules. I think for the first six months parents need to be a lot more strict about what kids are allowed to do. [/quote]

I understand your point. But this is what the permit process and required hours on the road is supposed to address.  I get it. More is better.  But this post suggests that  the "probation period" come after the license is issued.  That is not how it works.  Unless the parent is lying about hours and not doing any supervision.[/quote]

I posted the above, and yes ... sort of. We did our hours and did all of the Behind the Wheel and training, but to me, driving in a car with my husband or myself on the lookout for potential danger (even if we don't speak, if it comes to a point where it would be an accident causing mistake - like running a red light, we jump in). And of course if that happened a lot we wouldn't have proceeded with licenses. But, we also watched the police parent video that was required that gave statistics about how many accidents happen in the first six months of having a license (MANY more than happen during the permit period because there is no parent in the car) and we just want to make sure that we, as parents, don't take this responsibility lightly. I don't want to put anyone else in danger because I am not being careful.
