With the limited driver's permit, a teenager can't drive on highways with speed limits over 90 km/h (55 mph) but once they get their full permit, they can go wherever they want. So, in short, someone who has tried to merge onto a multi-lane highway where cars speed by at 120 km/h can now jump on and go all out. That's scary.

Our youngest just got his license and now, of course, he KNOWS everything. WTF - Sunday he was in fact a moron, but by Monday evening, he knew EVERYTHING. All because of a slither of plastic between his rear and the seat.

The baby is 18, and I still won't ride in the car with either of them. And I still remember seeing a quote somewhere..."hire a teenager while they still know everything"... One day they will understand that MOM REALLY DOES KNOW BEST!!! Hopefully I'll be around when they figure that one out! Great post. Enjoy this glorious Autumn weather!
