I ended up paying for my daughter to do driving lessons course. It wasn’t too expensive and not only did they do all the lessons but they also did all the necessary testing and paperwork for her to get one.
I did many sessions with her on my own, but it was rough and we would sometimes end with each of us in a bad mood. She listened better to someone else teaching her rather than just me. I’m very thankful that it’s over and done with now.

@NewBeginnings7790 yes maybe that's the route he will have to take

@SW-User It wasn’t as expensive as I thought it was going to be. And they had different options the least expensive they just did the lessons and signed off on all the needed paperwork, but you had to test elsewhere. The middle on which is the one I did where they do the all the testing and give the student the paperwork needed to go get the license made. Or the expensive package where they did it all. It was also nice because they would come pick her up wherever for each lesson. So they would pick her up for each lesson from school, work, or our home. Was extremely convenient.

@NewBeginnings7790 that does sound nice
I know the feeling from the son’s perspective. I didn’t start driving until I was way after highschool and my dad had to take me to work and home and he also worked a lot himself. At the time I didn’t realize how exhausting that probably was for him and I also felt like a slight burden on others because some of my coworkers would take me home.
I hate driving but I would never give up that type of freedom for my sake and other’s. Hopefully he learns how to drive soon.

@Pfuzylogic it does he's a good kid truly I am lucky. I think he just needs someone other than me to teach him.

@Elizabeth28 I am not enabling him I am teaching him. Do you really expect everyone to be a perfect driver right out the gate. That's the point of teaching you tell them what not to do and what to do. He's just starting to learn.
That sucks, tell him, no more work until he gets his license.
Lessons with driving school might be your best bet.

@SW-User that sucks. Poor guy, how old is he?

How old is he? 3:30 am is early for a 16/17 year old kid to be going to work. Is he in school too?

I've read all the comments and understand it's difficult.
Not sure how old your son is, but he needs to pay attention!
Maybe have him write down all the things you have to keep repeating and
give him written homework to do until he starts doing what he should be and not
how he IS doing.
Remind him a responsible/decent driver is driving for everyone else too, not just himself.
I say that because too often people drive like idiots and the rest have to watch out for them
and drive even more safely.
Good luck and I hope things change for the better....soon!

@Darksideinthenight2 public transportation here doesn't run at 3am, and we live too far for him to bike to work. He's just been working so much but hopefully soon he'll have his license
