The author reflects on their son's decision to delay getting a driver's license, contrasting it with their own eagerness at the same age. They acknowledge that their son, who is almost 16, prefers riding with them rather than taking costly driver education classes. Factors such as scheduling conflicts due to extracurricular activities and shared custody arrangements contribute to this decision. The author supports their son's choice, advocating for the option to learn with a parent when he feels ready, which also highlights the generational differences in attitudes toward driving and independence.
I couldn't wait to get my license... the potential for independence that came with them.
He prefers I teach him when he's ready to learn, but communication can be fraught with disagreements.
