[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents, you do not want them NOT to be able to drive

As punishment, restrictions on use of the car, yes, but for goodness sake, teach them to drive.[/quote]

Withholding a license or keeping the car keys doesn't mean they won't ever drive as long as they live at home.  It means they either haven't earned that privilidge yet, or haven given it up temporarily through crappy attitude and/or behavior.

Mine had his driver's license test cancelled.  I didn't think he was paying enough attention, but worse than that he pulled attitude when I mentioned it.  Driver's test GONE.

Even if the mouth isn't related to driving, if the kid can't control himself enough to have a conversation or at least avoid screaming and swearing, then I don't trust him to control himself behind the wheel.  PLUS the fact that driving is a privilege.  Privileges get cancelled when you act like a jerk.  Scream and swear at me and you might just find that magic little test has been put off for a while.  Want it rescheduled?  Check the attitude at the door.[/quote]
