My daughter was in a car accident at age 17 that left her a paraplegic and a 17 yr old boy that was in the backseat was killed...Alot of her friends did not get their permit/driving license either...It really made them realize what could happen....I think it is showing alot of maturity for a young person to say "I am just not ready" however, in the state of Virginia those kids that don't get their license by age 18 have to then wait until they are 21 to get them,,,I do not think this is fair and have been working with the Judge to try to get this law changed....at least in this county....you might want to check to see if this is the case in your area...if it is then I would suggest to him to just get the license but that he does not have to drive until he feels ready....good luck. |
