I guess it is important to remember that for teens, driving is not as “second nature” as it later becomes.

I got to make one of those phone calls to my mom when I was 16... I led off with "I'm ok, but..." She still freaked out.Shortly after that I got some serious driver training. My dad figured that I would try to go fast, so I might as well be skilled. What he hadn't banked on is that the training actually made me safer on the street. After tasting race conditions, it just wasn't fun to have to hold back.Not to say I still didn't do a few stupid things... but I did have a different mind about it. Jay & Francy,

My kids are 2 and a half and 13 months old. As a new parent I have had this worry since I became a parent. Everyone tells me you will worry much more when they become teenagers and are out driving. I am dreading the day mine get there keys as well. I am glad to hear everything is OK. My kids are 2 and a half and 13 months old. As a new parent I have had this worry since I became a parent.
