Teens and driving

My daughter wants me to teach her to drive when she gets back from California. She'll be 16 and I said 'yaya ok'...She'll definitely be taught to drive when she gets back. I just didn't tell her the EXACT time. :) I don't think she's ready. I personally IMO, don't think any teen who is 16 is ready for a permit. I think this law needs to be changed and the drivers permit age should be 18. Oh, I can hear some people already...how they gonna get to work..wawawa..PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION! Remember that????

Let me explain why I think my daughter isn't ready for a permit. It's one reason. She can not put her cell phone down for 5 minutes. She has to look on her phone to see who has texted her. Drives me crazy.

IF the age stays at 16 (or 15), then there should be a clause that NO TEEN can use a cell phone while driving. Not just teens either but I'm just talking about them right now. They ARE good for emergencies.

But come on! My teen does not need to see who is texting her while she is merging onto a freeway. It's a distraction.

She still calls me mommy sometimes. Cute ya but not very adult. She has trouble with what little responsibility I give her let alone put her behind the wheel.

Maybe I'm a big ole meanie. SO WHAT! Raspberry tongue.

So what's your view on this? anyone?

GOOD MORNING AND HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!!!!!! WOOWOOWOOOO ohohoh ant on my leg ant on my leg
