FamilyLife.com's Parenting Tip for 09/11/2007 Don't feel rushed about granting driving privileges.

Insist on driver's education through some type of formal instruction, and impose meaningful restrictions, such as speed limits, limiting him to specific routes and destinations, and enforcing a curfew.
