For our user agree- ment, click here . I've read about efforts to change the licensing requirements for young people in Oregon, and that's good. Right now, parents have control of their teen-agers' driving habits. Until their teens are 18, a license is provisional, requiring a parent's signature. Parents should use this if they must.
Parents are responsible for any damage done by their reckless teen-agers.
Retaking the permit and driver's tests, when parents choose to allow it, is a good incentive to improve driving habits. It worked for us.
