Teenagers and driving.
Hi all,
I have a question re: a 15 year old driving. My 15 year old SD has just got her drivers permit in USA. My husband and I have visitation with her and her younger brother for 3 weeks. Hubby has told her that he will let her drive our brand new 100K RV to help her get practice. She has been learning (to my knowledge) on a Toyota Echo. We live overseas and only see the children sporadically. Hubby tries to be "Disneyland Dad" on the trips we have with the kids (expensive holidays every time, presents etc). I am worried that it is now getting to the irresponsible stage. I have refused to be in the RV if she is driving (don't want to get myself killed), but he won't listen. Does anybody know the law surrounding this?? There is a court mediator involved and I have the BM's contacts details, but would really prefer to not handle things that way.
Can anyone help? Also, is there anywhere that I can get the "rules" in writing? I have looked on the DMV site and it asks for information that I would prefer not to provide (my name etc). I don't want there to be a "record" of an inquiry in case that is used against husband in future.
Help would be appreciated. Thanks
The "rules" differ in each
The "rules" differ in each state. Try this site... http://education4drivers.com/permit-restrictions-rules.htm
Go by a local DPS & pick up a learner's permit packet from them...you should be able to find one via a simple google search
From what I've read, as long as there is a licensed driver in the vehicle, they can drive...unless you're talking an RV so big that you need a CDL to drive it (not sure how big the 100K is).
PLEASE let me know if your SD will be driving through Houston, The Woodlands, Conroe or Huntsville TX & I will ensure that I & my loved ones will be OFF THE ROADS for any time/date you give.
Best of luck!
