We are unusually hard. Not until 18 except for siblings. Thats the rule for

riding with someone else too. They have to be 18 and no tickets in the last year. We're on kids five and six and we did it to our oldest four. Somehow we make it work. Helps with dating when we have to drive. Its like the 1800s around here, chaperones and all.

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

But if you get ticketed, you will pay the fine & the increase rate on insurance

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

I've never sped, not once.

displacedute

2/11/19 5:57pm

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

2/11/19 6:36pm

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.

I tend to take a hard line on that kind of thing. Their mom is a little more

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.

jdub

I don't know if "most", but some of my older kids' friends were allowed to drive

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

In the last decade I think. You can get a learner's permit at 15, you have to

gwalker

technically, it's a "provisional" license at 16. Not a full license until 17.

If she gets in a wreck and kills someone, then you go to jail right?

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

Enforce it. Accidents happen during the first six months. Do NOT yield.
