They do it every time.
 
I've watched others' teenagers start driving through our area. I'll see the parents with the new driver and their temporaries driving carefully along the roads. After months I'll see the new driver alone on short runs to the grocery for example driving just as carefully and at and below the speed limit. Then a couple of months later the car is moving quicker and quicker. The stop signs are mere blips in the rapid movement of life.
 
Then the car shows up with a fender dented in, if we're lucky. That happens in a high, but undetermined percentage of my observations.
 
I've got a youngin' coming along that will want a license. He had been observing the neat cars well-to-do parents had provided for their youthful drivers in and around the school at practices for band.
 
He asked a few months ago what kind of car I was going to buy him when he got his license. I told him he was riding in it. An almost 10-year old full-sized car is what it will be with air bags, seat belts, and lots of metal and a good crash record. Then maybe he'll get to drive the used pickup I think I'll buy myself about the time he starts driving. A pickup is a neat school car for many youngins' round here. I've always wanted one for those visits to Lowes and Home Depot and so on to carry stuff home.

A 16 year old should have a very reliable vehicle.
 
Like a 24 speed BICYCLE.

A bike? You got a bike? I was lucky to get a pair of tennis shoes.

I knew it was just a matter of time until we heard that one.
 
.... but I actually did that once when I got lost in a new neighborhood.

In college I walked up hill both way to class sometimes in a foot or more of snow.
 
I lived on the back side of a large hill, borderline mountain IMO, and the campus sat on the other side of the valley by that hill.
 
So I walked up the hill then down the hill then up the other side of the valley to class. Rinse and repeat for the afternoon.
