I was lucky, my daughter was always a responsible child. And super smart. I taught her to drive a stick, and she did untill last year. when she became a soph at college I gave her a car, and she went away to school in another state. My son has a daughter, and he is paranoid about her and a car. My grand daughters mother died when she was 11 and he has been her only parent, she's a jr. now at geo.u., and he still can't relax when she's behind the wheel. AND I still worry about them when they are on the road.
