I have been letting my daughter drive a little around our neighborhood...just a bit when the roads are not busy. I think I will have a heart attack when we start going to town. You just don't want to be in that car....me yelling....SLOW DOWN!!! SLOW DOWN!!!! Quit looking at the radio! and her yelling back at me. Its just horrible. There's no easy way to do this...is there. She started by driving here around our land, but my car was being treated like a 4-wheeler...giant clods of mud all over it, but she insists she was NOT driving crazy back there....right.

A husband should not teach wife to drive:[:0]
By the way...isn't your daughter a bit young to be driving?
I thought your daughter was 14? Is'nt that kind of young to be letting her drive on the road? Does she even have a permit at that age?
The whole reason I am starting her like I am...is because she is my "most frustrating" child. The other two came along and that is when I realized JUST how hard she is sometimes. She is good...just a little too "smart" for her own good.
A 1959 Diamond Rio 13speed, 4 speed transfer box and 2 speed rear axle.
Put it in low,low,low top speed 2-3mph, but able to knock down large buildings.
And of course the front end of the tractor is a steel diamond plate.

Did kill / mow down a few small trees, that were to slow to get out of the girls way.
But guess what, my son totalled the first car we bought for him. Then gave him my older Jeep Grand Cherokee and he brought it home with a big dent in the side and would not admit to being responsible. Then took it four wheeling and trashed it mechanically.
So now he is on his own at 19 and he pays his own way, at my insistance!

The best way to make a responsible driver is to have them buy their own car.

True enough Ben.
My daughter got her drivers license at 14 and bought her own car the same week. She needed a car to get to work. She started with a beater Mercury Comet. Every year she has traded up and is on her third car at age 17, it will be paid for in a couple months. She makes all her own car payments and pays for her own insurance.
She says she is the only one in her class who has had to buy her own car and pay her own insurance. I am so proud of her and relieved she has the financial skills and responsibility to take with her when she is on her own next year.
I have a 13 year old son who is learning how to drive now, he is already making plans for a job and car.
...I have only totaled two cars and one truck, oh, that's three...[:0]
Because she was a woman!!!!!!!!!!!
Not to hijack this thread but, Why couldn't Helen Keller drive a car?
Because she was a woman!!!!!!!!!!!
I like that one [:D][:D]
if you can't drive and you can't park would that be irony?
Funny how men always say women cant drive, when in fact the insurance agencies and stats prove its the males who cant drive...
slow and indecisive is a good way to avoid accidents--no arguments there; however, I don't have the knockers to keep the road raging truckers from waxing my *.

I think thats because men includes boys...who we all know take risks while driving
Also. men drive 6 times as much as women on average

You forgot one thing,....they come up with the dumbest excuses to try and prove someone wrong or prove stats wrong...

That is the biggest load of bull yet. Statistics are yet another form of lies when used subjectively.

Email Article More Auto Insurance Articles
Argue all you want; however you'd be hard-pressed to find documented proof that men are superior to women as drivers. But make no mistake - gender certainly does impact driving habits and insurance industry observers believe that issue manifests in other ways, too. That's a point driven home by insurance executives such as David Snyder, who acknowledges that most car insurance companies take into account a driver's gender in determining policy pricing.
So. let's see what the statistics have to say about drivers, in terms of males vs. females. Figures compiled by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) show that more men than women die each year in motor vehicle crashes, figures that drew explanatory comments from various insurance industry observers such as Russ Rader of IIHS, in Arlington, Va., and Tully Lehman, of the Insurance Information Network of California (IINC).
"Men typically engage more often in risky driving practices including not using a safety belt. driving while intoxicated, and speeding," according to Rader, spokesman for IIHS, in Arlington, Va.
and another one...
Women have proven it. Where there's a wheel, there's a way.
Latest statistics show that the old notion of men being better drivers than women has skidded into oblivion.
In fact, in a U.S. poll, more women than men bragged about being better behind the wheel, and one out of three men agreed that their skills had been overtaken.
Are women better drivers?

Women have proven it. Where there's a wheel, there's a way.
Latest statistics show that the old notion of men being better drivers than women has skidded into oblivion.
In fact, in a U.S. poll, more women than men bragged about being better behind the wheel, and one out of three men agreed that their skills had been overtaken.
"It's a myth that men are better drivers than women," agrees Supt. Gary Grant, Toronto's top traffic cop. "There is no difference at all in the driving skill levels. I have no trouble at all getting into a car driven by a woman."
The U.S. survey was by Bridgestone/ Firestone Inc.
In it, 76% of women claimed to be safer drivers than men, while 69% of men claimed the throne. The other 31% of males acknowledged that women were safer driving bets.
