Things are a little different these days and it seems to us that teens and parents of teens are weary to jump on the "let's get you licensed" bandwagon right away anymore. This could be due to the cost to insure a teen, maybe even because of safety issues or responsibility, or possibly the state of the current economy?
The driving school we have a relationship with says that things have been a little slow for them too. Sure it was busy enough in the summer for us to go and do our safe teen driver presentation but now that winter has set in there's very few students enrolling.
I know 2 teen drivers personally who have finished their driver's education. One is just short of turning 17 and the other is 18. They both told me that they were among the oldest kids in their class and yet they have not even begun to take their driving test. They barely drive at all on their permit. I too was enrolled in driver's education early but waited about a year on my permit to receive my license.
So it bring me to question have things always been this way? Are parents just weary of their learning teen's safety or have economics come into play this time around?
Do you have teens who are learning how to drive? Are you holding off to get them licensed?
