[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 155032, member: 3626"] You might try reminding D that driving is a privilege, not a right and a right you can easily revoke if he pulls stupid stunts like barelling out of a parking lot. There are some things that are absolute to me, safe driving is at the top of that list. A car is a letal weapon. A teenager behind the wheel of a car makes it even deadlier. So, if my child drives recklessly for even one second and I see it, she loses all driving privileges (or she did when she was at time) for a week. There is no argument or discussion -- you either drive safely (by mommy standards) or you don't drive at all. No exceptions. The way D is behaving behind the wheel is frightening to my mind. He's obviously not paying attention (the rearender) and using the car to vent his anger. Neither is acceptable. Sorry, this is one time when you really need to put your foot down -- better a mad, unhappy kid than a dead one. [/QUOTE]
