[QUOTE="Karin, post: 79542, member: 57167"] Thank you everyone for the feedback. :thank: [B]Ms Southworth,[/B] I agree that it's two different things to study the traffic rules and pass a written test and to operate a car. Actually I like our system for practise driving as it has a "learning by doing" approach to it. Typically you start practise driving here when you are 16 or 17 years old and no you don't drive on private property, but you tend to begin with learning how to drive at a deserted parking lot. Then you move on to the smaller roads and eventually to the city traffic, country roads and highway. You do have a sign in the back that alerts other drivers to be extra careful since you don't have your license yet. The role of the parent or the person who teach you how to drive, it doesn't have to be a parent, it can be anybody who has had their license for a number of years, is to instruct you how to drive and well it's best to only have one person who does that. No I guess it's true that the person who sits in the passenger seat can't do much if there's a problem. But usually there isn't. So I don't see a problem with this practise driving system. What I do see a problem with however are people who let their young kids steer the wheel while sitting in their laps, all of these EPA tractors that are more and more like cars and no license and all the people who drives without a valid Swedish license. :( I agree about Cliff. He really has a thing for Chinese food. :lolo: I'm glad you think Rebecca was spot on for a child playing miniature golf. I think Bobby's problem with the family outing is that it didn't turn out like he imagined it would. He thought it would be a quiet afternoon but well when Rebecca and Chris starts teasing each other like brother and sister that so didn't happen.
