We have a place up in Idaho that has a private road. All of our kids have driven down that road and the roads that go off of it several times - pre 16. We just went through getting a license for my oldest boy. I actually had to push him to do it. I knew he was gonna have to take some classes at the local Jr. College for his senior year in HS, so I really wanted him to drive himself. I pushed him to get his permit and then either my husband or I would take him two times a week driving. We also signed him up for a driving course. He finally got his license on his 17th birthday.

With my youngest, I've been worried! However, his 15.5 birthday came and went and he never said anything about a permit. His 16th is coming up and he still hasn't mentioned driving. So, I am not mentioning it to him either. He's a mini-me and I'm worried about him getting his license and wanting to go off all the time to who knows where!
