[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not suggesting anything about your son. I've never even met him, never mind know him. Could you shed some light on how you determined that he was ready for the priviledge of getting a driving license? It's probably the biggest responsibility you can give him between now and high school graduation.[/quote]

He gets straight As.  He's a 3 sport athlete.  He does his chores.  He's polite and respectful.  Besides, he's 16.  Why [b][i]wouldn't[/i][/b] you let a 16 year old get their license?  Even if his grades were failing, then I'd pull driving privileges.  But I'd still let him get his license.  Did you not get your license when you turned 16?  I'm really confused why there is even a qualifying factor for that.  Again- getting a license is different than letting him drive.[/quote]
Your son sounds exceptional. I don't know high school kids who have chores anymore.
But in general, I think a license at 16 should be earned, not an entitlement. You should see how most of them are driving. A little mistake of distraction can not only cost him his life, but others as well. Kids are less mature than when they had household and family responsibilities early on.

We haven't yet addressed how sleep deprived high school students are. This is often are dangerous as driving intoxicated.
