[quote=Anonymous]Like a pp said, there is no reason to encourage a child to get a DL if there is ample, affordable public transportation. In Europe, people don't drive at 16. The rate of accidents decreases significantly by age up until over 65. This is not correlated by number of years driving either. Brains are not fully developed until 25. Not driving until then is more likely to save lives....your kid's or others. I have the opposite problem. My dd has her permit in the state that lets you get it the soonest. She was dying to get it and she has been driving ranch vehicles on private property since she was 11. Still....I won't let her have her own car (not under my roof...her job money goes towards college) and she won't drive mine much at all. She won't need to do that...she can take public transportation, be green....AT the same time, she wants the independence and skills so I am letting her prove herself.[/quote]
