[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 301203, member: 1233"] At her age NO ONE thinks anything a parent does is "reasonable'. It is part and parcel of being a teen. It really doesn't matter if she is embarrassed or anyone is hassled. If she is not mature enough then you should not let her drive. It isn't about being hassled or embarrassed. It is about handling a deadly weapon. period. NO WAY should you be paying her insurance. If she wants to drive then SHE can get a job and pay her insurance. MILLIONS of kids her age are doing it and have done it every year. If all her friends carried guns at age 17 would you let her do that? Is she mature enough to be safe with one, to not use one on someone who is "bothering" her? A car is just as deadly or more so. It is easier to hit someone with a car than with a bullet. Time to turn the problems caused by not driving over to her. Make her PAY for rides. Give her a bus card and if she wants to go somewhere she can walk or find a bus. If she wants a license at 18 make sure she is NOT living with you and cannot be on your insurance. Call your insurance agent and make them note your policy that she is NOT to be added on. It is more expensive to get her own policy so she might just call and try to get added on to yours. If you call first this won't happen. [/QUOTE]
