Clayton: How much farther, dad? Adam: Oh, hey. Shh. Everybody else is asleep. Should be another couple of hours. Clayton: Want me to take the wheel for awhile? Adam: That's a good idea. We can switch places at the next rest stop we pass eight years from now.

“When we got our licenses, he told often us to do the driving.”
Sorry, I don’t understand gibberish.

even now that he has his license, my son doesn’t want to drive, unless we are out on a country road, can’t say as though i blame him

In Ontario, Canada, We have ‘graduated’ licensing. Basically, 2 ‘learning’ levels, then a full level. I moved to Toronto, and let my license lapse, as I don’t really need it here.
Driving in cities like this is annoying as hell.

my Dad gave me one driving lesson long before i could get a learner’s permit, which was 14 in Fla. at that time. that single lesson ended with him slamming the car door and yelling at me that i would just have to teach myself to drive. which i did, taking my lessons anytime one of the cars was around and parents were not. patience was not Dad’s strong point.

My brother got his license the day he turned 16; he couldn’t wait to get behind the wheel. My sister had her learner’s permit, but didn’t get around to actually taking the test for her license until the day before the permit expired. I never actually had a learner’s permit (never took Driver’s Ed), didn’t get my license until I was almost 21, and even then it was primarily just for ID. Both cities in which I’ve lived in my life have good public transport, and I’ve never minded using it.
Australia’s got a good system I think we should adopt here. After you get your license, however old you are, you have to display a “P” (for “provisional”) sticker on your bumper, so that other drivers on the road know that you’re inexperienced…
