[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 178819, member: 1697"] I cannot share a driving difficult child experience becuz even tho we have no public transporation here, and our town is not even set up for walking pedestrians, and even tho it was very hard for me to get around for awhile- my difficult child did NOT get a drivers license yet. She is 19. She is FAR too anxious, impulsive etc. Good for me, difficult child did not even argue this decision. She actually agreed with it. Due to the very large number of fatal accidents here involving teens, and the number of their friends hurt etc, she continues to feel she prefers to not drive and not ride with peers. IL has passed some VERY strict driving requirements and rules/laws for teen drivers and as of Jan 1 this year, they also now take away or withhold the license of any kid who gets into any legal trouble at alll, even if it is entirely not driving related. And drivers ed is mandatory in HS for graduation. Even if you have a health condition that makes driving impossible (example- a blind child - the parents thought it ridiculous their child HAD to take drivers ed, well, not the driving part, of course, but he did have to take the classroom part) My easy child drives, but I always wonder how she ever GETS anywhere, she gets lost so easy!
