I am 18 years old and I just got my license this year. Having a permit is just being one step closer to getting your license. However, if you have a permit (depending where you live) under the age of 18, you can only drive with a licensed driver over the age of 25. So even if you let her get her permit, she will not be able to drive until she is fully licensed + insured.





Also, I don't think you should give her her license. I can very much relate because I am 18... Even though she is 16 years old, she is not ready to drive on her own BUT having a permit will not hurt her. Taking a permit test is merely a written test to see how well you have studied the DMV's manual, but it is completely different from actually DRIVING. I say, let her take her PERMIT* test, and practice for 6 months - 1 year to see if she is really ready. Having your license is a priviledge, and you should not just let her have it because you are tired of her pestering you =)





Being 18 years old right now, I know that 2 years ago I really wanted my license too, but I am so glad my parents made me wait. I appreciate having my license much more now compared to how badly I wanted it before. Waiting for something you want really badly really makes you appreciate it when you have it. I say, your daughter should not be driving unless she really has a need to. In my case, I need to drive to school and sometimes to the bart station. But in any case, be strong and firm with your decision!! Don't give in!!! Patience is a virtue. Good luck =)!Advice.teenagers?
I think that you should let her get it. I also think that you have to tell her that she has to show that she is responsible enough to have a permit. You could make her behave and show respect for like a week in order to go try for her permit.





Also, you have to show your kids that you trust them. If they sense that you don't trust them, then they will do things out of resent. Just sit her down and talk to her, set her boundaries.





If she has a permit, then when she has a bad temper, you can ground her by taking it away.





Kind of a win win situation i would say.
i'm 16 and i have a temper and i know i shouldn't get a permit thing





tell her that driving isn't all that great n her friends will for sure use her
well tell her to prove it to u that she is responsible and mature enough to get her permit. give her some tasks to prove u that. my parents let me get my permit and they think i have a bad temper and they thought i was going to take off but they realized i respect them too much to do that and plus everything is under their name like the car and stuff and they could easily take that away from me.
Got to let her grow up sometime. She can't learn to be responsible unless you give her a chance to.
Let her have her permit but NOT her license until she is 18.


That way she can drive with you for the next 2 yrs.Also, take her to anger management classes.


I know why she is in a rush to get her license.FREEDOM!


She will be able to go anywhere whenever she wants.You wont know what she is doing or who she is doing it with.
Let her get her license, its more dangerous allowing her to get it when she is 18 and you have absolutly no control over her. She is 16 and you still have two more years to teach her how to drive exc. Plus she may even become more responsible when she gets her liscence and its not like you have to buy her a car, she can do that herself :]
I think that you should explain it to her.


Or let her get her permit, then explain that she cant get her license if her attitude continues.
I remeber 16...i got my license when i was 16..not a permit...It was a big deal to me..i would set down strict rules..like you can have the permit..not the keys..can drive only specified places and times until she can prove hersef to you..its a great leverage point for you..if she does not behave..she does not drive!..she might straighten up.
Remind her that driving is a privilege, not a right. If she wants to drive, then she needs to earn it. Tell her that she needs to straighten up and learn to control her temper.





Once she shows that she is responsible enough to handle it, then you should allow her to get her permit.
Wow, by 16 you usually have a full on license. I think you should at least let her take driver's ed. She's going to need to learn how to drive soon, it's an important skill in today's world. It's probably better for her to learn while she is still under your roof and you can supervise.
Being sixteen is a very scary age for a young lady, weather she gets a permit or not she is very capable of taking the car, what I can say is Pray and put her in Gods hand. Let her know getting her permit is a big responsibility and in order for her to apply for a permit she is going to have to humble her self for this privilege.
yah, let her.





You do know that you have to complete drivers ed and get a permit to finish high school...


Right?!





Think back when you were her age, im sure you would've wanted it
every teen wants their licence! you shouldnt deprive her of her licence. step into her shoes. her friends will be able to drive, while she has to sit in the passenger seat and wish that she could be the one driving. her friends will make fun of her because you wouldnt let her get her licence. please let her have her permit,or licence.(i forgot which one it was.lol!)
