with friends in the car. The rule is clear in our house... they aren't to be driving with any kids in the car, and they aren't to be driven by any friends that haven't had their license for at least six months.

Ask her which other laws should we ignore.

In WA (when I was 16), after the 6 months you were still only allowed 2 friends

If it's against the law, it's against my rules too.

I've never sped, not once.

displacedute

Wait, you've never once gone even 1 MPH over the limit? Do you have a chauffeur?

James Halpert

Never, not once!

Making up your own rules? Isn't that like awarding yourself a national championship five years later for no reason?

Kids hate it when you obey the law. Hope they get over it.

If you want to give me $500 downpayment toward your ticket, maybe.

It's generally ignored by whom? Not in our household, and not among my daughter's friends.

To me it's astounding how teenage judgement diminishes when they are in a group of 2 or more

Is this a relatively new law? Never heard of it.

gwalker

When you take a minor in to get their license you sign a form taking responsibility for their driving.
