Ever let your teen who was raised in the suburbs drive to the city?

[i][c=BF0080]My dad said, “you learned to drive that big truck with your permit alone here, she’ll be fine.” Me: “She’ll freak once she’s on 95, even with me.”

Daughter trying to merge on 95 freaked out and at a complete stop:

Me: (Screams) Get aggressive!!

Her: (After finally getting aggressive and on the road) “Why are these people so mean?”

Then she waves everyone to get in front of her on another highway so they don’t feel like she did till she saw this guy(right not in a lane) later 😂 “What’s wrong with these people today?!”

My poor child. I said I’m sorry I yelled at you before, but I didn’t think you would’ve moved. She agreed and said she doesn’t ever wanna drive to the Bronx again 🤣 She will with me though till she’s comfortable enough to do it on her own. [/c][/i]

i was driving to the big city on a permit which was illegal @ that time because mom didnt like driving in the big city & never had an issue
but each person is different
so if i had kids it would depend on each kids abilities

@pdockal [i][c=BF0080]I agree! This was her first time driving there. I planned on having her do it with her permit b/c I figured if she could drive in the city, she can anywhere and wouldn’t fear anywhere. Then I thought it wasn’t worth the chance of traumatizing her before she had a license 😂

It was illegal for me then with a permit too, but as a teen all I thought was I can drive by myself 😂[/c][/i]

@MellyMel22

it was illegal w/ a permit not issued by the big city I was in .... the suburb kids had to wait for their liscence but ............
now i avoid it because its gotten out of hand
