    I never learned to drive because I grew up in a city; my daughter is now 16 and in a private driving program. I am looking forward to her taking me everywhere when she gets her license! Her father is very critical of every turn and how much room she leaves between cars, etc. But she really enjoys it when I’m aboard, because I can just be a passenger and enjoy the ride. I think this may promote a better relationship with us as we both get older.

    My son was desperate to drive when he was 15; then after we gave him lessons and he got a permit, he kind of cooled on the idea of getting his license. He has several older friends who drive him everywhere he wants to go, and he just pitches in some gas money. I have to say I am happy with this trend of later driving!
