Stay off the roads if you can!

Hard to believe that B and I have a 16 year old daughter! Chelsea takes her driving test July 8th and assuming she passes will be cut loose on the open roads. HIDE IF YOU CAN! Actually she is turning into a pretty good driver. North Carolina requires new drivers to drive for 1 year with a learners permit before they can take their test and get a license to drive alone. Initially I was put out with this rule but have come to decide it is a good rule to follow. For one thing it forces you to spend adequate time practicing, the second and equally important is you don't have to add them to your insurance until that year is over - result is a total savings of $130/month. I'm considering keeping her in a learners status til she gets married to someone who can afford her.
