I too have a 16 YO chomping at the bit to drive! She has her learner's permit and will be able to take the driving test in April. She turned 16 in August, but must have her learner's permit for a year before getting her license. I know how you feel. I just cringe at the thought of her out there driving alone...not so much because of her, but because of the other drivers. I feel that we will know when the time is right for her to get her license. She, too, lost a friend last year to a car accident, which did make her stop and think a bit about driving. I heard a news report that since the war in Iraq has been going on, something like 3000 troops have died; during that same time period, over 20,000 teens have died in car accidents. That's a scary statistic! Just know you are not alone in this struggle...you'll know when she's ready...so will she! Good luck and God bless!
