[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 446388, member: 3444"] Thanks everyone! Tomorrow at 11am the teacher will be here to pick up difficult child 1 for his first 2-hour behind-the-wheel lesson -- so YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!!! :rofl: After the instructor signs off on the permit tomorrow, difficult child 1 will be allowed to drive with a parent. In our state, teen drivers under 18 with a permit must log 50 hours with a parent (10 of which must be at night) along with 6 hours (minimum) with a driving instructor before they can apply for their license. He's a junior this year and turns 17 in about 6 more weeks, but I would really like for him to be able to drive himself and all his gear to LAX practice in the afternoons this school year, so that's one reason I'm pushing him to get this done. I was told by our insurance co. that I don't have to pay anything extra for difficult child 1 on our policy until he actually gets his license -- which I'm hoping we can put off until next year. And then it's about an extra $500 every 6 months for him to be a secondary driver -- meaning he's the third driver in a 2-car family. Once we get a third car and he automatically is assumed primary on one of them, the rate skyrockets into the stratosphere. So I told him that until he can afford THAT insurance (i.e. has a job), he will be sharing a vehicle with his parents, and sharing in the upkeep and cost of gas, too! :winks: I plan to have him drive me to the mall tomorrow after his lesson so that I can run some errands, and then we'll stop and pick up easy child from day camp on the way home (I'll have to drive from there, since he's not alloweed to drive anyone under the age of 25 until he gets his license). So he'll get maybe about 30 minutes of drivng logged right there! [/QUOTE]
