My son is practicing his driving skills more and more these days. Some of his friends are beginning to turn 16 and getting their drivers licenses. I am getting closer and closer to the day that I will have to let him drive---ALONE! What a scary thought! As I watch his friends drive around, I am always shocked and have to do a double-take to make sure that I saw correctly. Yes--that's right--he just turned 16--now he is driving. So far, my son has not ridden with his friends who can drive, but I expect the issue to come up soon. Teens driving around with other teens in the car--that is even scarier than teens driving alone! I know this is something that I MUST let him do--I need to get used to the idea because the time is arriving soon--soon he can drive alone---soon he can drive his friends--soon he can ride with his friends. I am still having a tough time with this--I better get used to it--it IS happening whether I am ready or not! Teen drivers--I'm still not comfortable about the whole situation!

My son just got his drivers license a few months ago. It is scary with him driving, but even scarier if he rides with a friend. We always have him drive himself - I trust his driving and judgement. When he began driving on his permit we designed some car magnets for our car to let other drivers know he was a new driver. We have a website where we now sell our magnets. The website is rookiedriver.net and we have added some great information about teen driving with a bunch of links to other great sites. I strongly suggest that all parents of new drivers use some type of car magnet to alert other drivers so they know to look out for these new drivers while they are "practicing" with their parents.
