[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 231030"] I had this conversation with a neighbor man. He said his kids will not get their license until they were 18. (granted...easy child's). He says they will be more responsible. My argument is (my easy child had his license at 16) so, good drivers come from experience. My opinion. Their insight and reaction and defensive driving looking for the "what if's" that comes with experience not necessarily age. If my son gets his license at age 16 and your child at age 18, I believe my child will be a better driver when he is 18. He will have two more years experience than your child. Insurance - goes down when they turn 25 or get married. Good grades help. easy child had ONE speeding ticket in his life. Going to college to take entrance exams. Saw the cop on the overpass but didn't think he would see him or was close enough (???duh??) Caught going 93 in a 65 WITH cruise control on. (he told me that) That ONE ticket had his license suspended for 6 months. I never had a ticket. husband had minor tickets ..slowly speeding (is that possible) Anyway when easy child (a college student) got his license back my insurance company dropped me. Even though he didn't even live at home. He was considered an occassional driver. My oldest easy child took drivers ed at age 15, then his temps test at 15.5. He drove with me until he turned 16. He wanted to wear those baggy pants. I told him the people at DMV won't like that. So he dressed normal. May be a coincedence, but he passed. the boy behind him with baggy jeans and colored hair failed. difficult child has been getting post cards for Drivers Ed. At AGE 14. He is SO full of anxiety and always asking "what if" and "am I going to die" I don't know what he would do. He would also be influenced by friends. Although he is not speaking to me or even looking my way. [/QUOTE]
