What do I do with my 16 year old?

Recommended Posts

So my oldest just turned 16... and he can get his license in two weeks. He's had his permit since last January and I've been letting him drive as much as I can. Problem is he's terrible at it... timid, unsure and still struggles with basic stuff.

I'm not comfortable with him driving yet... but don't know what to do with him.

I can and have taught him everything he needs to know but I can't get the hesitation out of him..

Suggestions?

I was the same way, it just took experience to get over it. I had an accident a month after I got my license (dog ran out in front of me). If he is anything like I was, he just needs to spend time behind the wheel to get comfortable. I haven't had any accident or stress behind the wheel since then - that was 1999.

Is he just nervous or is he reckless because of maturity issues? I'm not trying to be a jerk, please don't take it the wrong way. But waiting a few years will probably be a good idea for a young rebel driver.

Trust me I'm not offended ... he's actually pretty mature and he's very smart. He's just really unsure with this... I've tried being ultra patient, I've tried making him be aggressive, nothing seems to work. I even sent him to my dad and let him work with him.

I have no problem not letting him get his license or more likely I'm probably going to let him get it (if he passes) and put severe restrictions on him until he improves.

I just don't know how to improve his driving.

I wish I had some advice but I thought I was Richard Petty as soon as I got my permit - even had the Dodge Charger.

My daughter was pretty confident too.

You know it's better to be a bit timid starting off than too aggressive, although it has a tendency to cause havoc at 4 way stop signs and the like. Waht kind of "basis stuff" is he having issues with?

    • As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
