My daughter makes POOR academic decisions, but actually pretty good social ones... I am hoping driving is more in the social realm.<br /><br />Helen *snort* Ack! 25?! I don't want to drive her all over that long! Once she can drive she can take my son places!<br /><br />Elizabeth--Isn't it exciting reading though?! Totally had not registered to me though, until I kept getting interrupted by my trouble this morning...<br /><br />Jan--it gets worse. In Idaho, where I learned to drive, they give a full fledged driver's license at 14, so beginning into the graduated driver's license at 15, after driver's ed, doesn't make me so nervous...<br /><br />*snickers at TV family members*<br /><br />Joris, we have all those education and lesson things (maybe at 16 you can just test).<br /><br />I've always thought the early age had to do with so much rural space, but I would think that would be MORE the case in Canada. Much of the US just has no public transportation...Hart Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17599570189253229318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7127677169344207651.post-69545301660433924932010-03-04T17:09:40.589-05:002010-03-04T17:09:40.589-05:00No driving lessons 'till you're 18, and on...No driving lessons 'till you're 18, and only under the supervision of a licensed instructor, in a specifically adapted and clearly marked vehicle (extra pedals) is the only way to learn how to drive and not cause too many deaths along the way... That's my story and I'm sticking to it :P (Yes, I only got my licence at the fifth attempt, but that's because of my anxiety trouble; I passed without any problems at the special exam with extra time (60 instead of 30 minutes) and less pressure they give you after 4 attempts -- and NOBODY passes their first time :P )TreeXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12207780401239489714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7127677169344207651.post-71020539440136232002010-03-04T17:03:02.718-05:002010-03-04T17:03:02.718-05:00oh gosh I realized that was weird - I meant Josh a...oh gosh I realized that was weird - I meant Josh and Donna in WestWing - must have assumed that everyone was watching it with me for the last month instead of the olympics etc...Jan Morrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01771180344305042855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7127677169344207651.post-48082236269947466462010-03-04T17:00:23.311-05:002010-03-04T17:00:23.311-05:00I'm sorry - I can't get past the fact that...I'm sorry - I can't get past the fact that they let fourteen year olds drive where you are. GAWD - I'd never get any sleep. I guess I'd be like so you know kinda GLAD she's too busy to get the hours in at driving. Keep her in the pool with the near naked people not on the road with the metal encased people!<br />I love the impasse problem in writing. In therapy not so much though we aren't to push. It is like transition in labour. Just let the person sweat it out! Can't do that in a book though - have to have them move sometime. Though it took Josh and Donna 8 years of being just right for each other to finally get it! Man oh man! Come on already.
