SHOULD YOUR TEEN TAKE DRIVER’S EDUCATION OR WAIT FOR FEW YEARS?
One of the biggest reliefs of your child getting older is no longer having to be their on-call chauffeur. Sports practices, friend’s houses, school, and so on. Odds are, you’ve been your child’s main source of transportation for most of their life. But now, as they approach that golden age of 16, they have the opportunity to earn a bit of freedom by getting their driver’s license. That is, unless you decide to send them an Uber instead.
That’s right. There has been a growing trend of parents using Uber as a means to shuttle around their un-licensed teen children.
The idea of using cab to shuttle your child around sounds like a great idea and a great use of modern tech. But unfortunately, there are several reasons why it would be much better to have your teen learn to drive and get their driver’s license.
Vehicle theft is a multi-million-pound crime, with the cost of stolen vehicles is huge. Summers prove to be the worst season for vehicle theft. Thieves want vehicle parts and valuable items, too. Radios and wheel covers aren’t the only popular stolen vehicle parts thieves take. They want whatever sells, from the mandated labeled parts to those that aren’t. Some of the most popular vehicle parts or valuable items stolen from vehicles include doors, engines, transmissions, air bags, radios, GPS units, cell phones, iPads, laptops, and purses.
For most people turning seventeen means one thing – learning to drive. For not for everyone and there are many people who, for one reason or another, don’t feel that urge. They hit their twenties and still never get around to learning to drive. Then they reach their thirties and the irritation with public transport reaches fever pitch or the person they relied on to drive for them can’t do it anymore. So they start looking for a driving instructor. But is it harder to learn to drive in your thirties?
