[QUOTE="MyFriendKita, post: 179066, member: 4888"] My son took driver's ed, had his permit for a year before he could get his license (because of when his birthday fell), and since then has: Backed into a mailbox trying to get another kid off the hood of the car. Got our pickup stuck over a large rock and tore a hole in the gas tank trying to get it off. Put my car in a ditch and broke something in the steering (to make the car go straight, the steering wheel had to be turned at about a 45 degree angle). Backed in to a car in a parking lot that was backing out at the same time. Sideswiped some landscape timbers at an apartment complex. Got my car stuck in another ditch and bent something in the wheel. Stood on the roof of the car and dented it. Was at a friend's house when someone firebombed our car (in the friend's driveway). Has gotten tickets for speeding (more than once), disregarding a traffic signal (more than once), not wearing a seatbelt (twice), not having a motorcycle permit, not wearing a helmet while driving a motorcycle (after he got his motorcycle permit), and not having his license with him (twice within a two month period). However, as volatile as he is, he doesn't lose his temper behind the wheel. The biggest problems have been his carelessness, irresponsibility, and inattentiveness. I hope it helps to know that we've survived our difficult child's learning to drive; your daughter couldn't possibly be this bad. [/QUOTE]
