My in-laws took her to take the written part of her drivers test Tuesday,I am back out here at work after having only 3 days off,so I couldnt take her and the wife works 700 to five.Luckily my nlaws are both retired. Well anyway, I get a text from her phone,"I have passed my drivers test,Im driving Nana and Papa back.Now you know the first thing that popped in my head was the texting and driving part was like what!! She knows better than that,then double what, her Nana and Papa really should know better that that!! I was fixn to call and bam, another text that said, by the way Nana is texting this message to you. THANK GOODNESS. Now before some of you take this the wrong way, read the post carefully,she was not texting and driving, it was something that I found comical in the end.

I am also beginning to see many cars pulling off the road to take a CP call.

You can drive on a learners permit when you are 14 in Arkansas?

I thought that was a tad young, too.... but.... seems that's the law there.

I know they can where my nephew lives in Kansas!! Was she taught how to actually drive?

Lutt, you have my sympathy. This is going to be a really stressful time. With daughters, driving and dating seems to be the things that give parents the most gray hair. . . or pull it all out. There are just so many more cars and more ways to get hurt or injured due to distractions. Learning to drive these days is a huge challenge.

It will be an interesting experience. My son turned 16 this year and has been driving. It is very convenient at times but quite stressful.

By the way, we go thru Pocahontas about 5 times per year driving to Little Rock to see my inlaws.

Good luck.

Yes you can drive on a learners permit at 14 in Arkansas, yes, she has been learning on gravel roads and 2 lanes out in the country,she also has learned to drive our jeep wrangler with a 5 speed transmission.She has been practicing on gravel and 2 lanes for the last 3 yrs. She can also get a hardship licencse at 15 where she can drive just her and her sister to school. Thanks jinmen and MoKelly for the kind words. The boys will probly stress me out more than the driving. I know she was really excited to get that little piece of paper, kind of made me remember when I got mine. In 30 days she will take her driving part. At least she wants a truck to drive. LUTT

Oh yes, stress and worry. We were living in Germany when our oldest learned to drive. What worried me was, in 10 minutes he could be on the autobahn driving 100+ mph and nobody would care. Heck, I would have been. Fortunately, I think there was some sort of genetic inheritance breakdown there. :laughing:

I used to work with a guy who had two daughters, you are in for it.
