Great!

Will he be doing the grocery shopping now?

[Bernard]

Cool! 16 already!!

Did you get a congratulatory note from your car insurance company?

[jon-nyc]

It’s just a permit so no ding on insurance yet and he can’t run errands unless I’m with him.

I’m guessing 6 months or so he’ll be ready to take his test.

It begins. lol

They ask you for money for lessons, examine & comment relentlessly on your overly relaxed experienced driving style from the back seat, tell you quite correctly you would fail your test if you sat it today.

When my elder kid passed her UK driving test I gave her this as a present:

I've had many adventures driving and being a passenger in cars. This was before the age of surveillance. I'm probably lucky to be alive. I'm probably lucky (well, I know I am) I've never been in jail.

Those days are behind me now.

One thing that makes me a better driver--more alert to what other drivers are doing--is watching crash compilations on YouTube. It's sobering. Anything can happen and it happens very fast.

I think I must have died in a car accident in a past life. I am the most nervous driver alive--when someone else is driving. Now, put me in my drag racing machine on the West Side Highway, and watch out! (I used to drive my 72 Chevelle with the slant six in the city back in the 80s)
