Night Driving


My son wanted to practice driving at night, so we let him do that this weekend. It is tougher than it looks, isn't it? He did fine, but he acknowledged the difficulty of seeing everything clearly. We discussed some of the problems that could come up, such as glare from oncoming headlights. There is so much to learn before you can feel 100% comfortable behind the wheel. I think today's teens are getting much more education and practice than we did! I think I just had a few short lessons, and off I went! We are spending an entire year training him in driver safety and education--i think most parents are doing the same. I hope he will feel very comfortable once he reaches his 16th birthday and can get his license--I want him to be one of the most cautious drivers on the road--day OR night.
