I am a drivers license examiner in Hickory... I would be willing to take him out for a spin after work one day or even on a Saturday. Most kids his age want to drive but lack the confidience.

If there is anything I can do to help just let me know!

Thanks man, but we're down in Wilmington. Any tips you can give would be appreciated.

Update:

Right after I made this thread, I sat down with him and his mom and we basically gave him an ultimatum... either practice more and learn to drive to the point that we're satisfied with your ability, and get your license, or you're not going anywhere/doing anything that we have to give you a ride to.

He apparently took this to heart... he drove like everyday and really improved his ability. I'm pretty impressed...

I took him Tuesday and let him get his license, and he drove himself to school for the first time yesterday. I think he realized there's a lot to do out there and he better get his poo in gear if he wanted to do it... I'm still gonna be pretty restrictive with his driving, but at least he put the effort in to do better... :D

I don't think it's nervous because of who it is, I think he's just nervous/scared because he's unsure of his ability... but no, there are no cool uncles or anything... my wife's brother is kinda weird.

I guess I could send him out to my dad's to drive his golf cart around... that's actually a great idea.

I used to work on a golf course so I drove carts around often. I had my license before I started working there, but backing 30-50 carts a day into tight parking spots helped my backing and parallel parking skills tremendously.

This reminded me of when I got my license. Sat in the f*cking DMV on Market and Station Rd for hours, finally got to the point where I could take the test. Went out to the car with the driving dude, and my mom's tail light was out.

Had to go again the next day and wait another century to take the test. Those places take too damn long.

Best thing for me was gran tourismo. I learned a lot about driving dynamics. Though I wasn't a street racer, I did become very mindful of what my inputs did to my vehicle. I also has friends who tried to rally race and flipped their cars. Good luck!

      Greg Cosell: Bryce Young is a complimentary piece

      Not sure I completely agree but it's a pretty accurate list

      If Reich or Fitterer were still around I think the need to extend Young because of what he cost would be stronger.  And yeah Morgan was Fit's right hand when the call was made but there an equal chance that Dan will see it as a chance to move on from Fit and shake off that stink. Holding out some hope that 3 years and clear eyes will allow for an honest appraisal that Young just aint the guy

      Greg Cosell: Bryce Young is a complimentary piece

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      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
