I don't have my driver's license. But usually we're more lenient because they really just don't understand the ramifications of driving without a license. The kids who are out there driving drunk are the ones whose parents rarely talk to them. Parents have to be involved but not necessarily strict. If your parents are always yelling at you, then when you get your license, you want to kind of rebel against that.
Parents have to be somewhere between strict and having no control.
Like every weekend. Just last Saturday night, no one could drive me home because everyone was drunk. I hadn't been drinking, and this kid who was drunk was going to drive. I'd never driven a truck, but I did it. I'm the designated driver a lot.
