Carter Learns to Drive

Carter is now officially a member of the driving public. We ran into a few issues with his Drivers Ed before he got his license. We had really liked the instructor that we got for Callie and she had gone on to start her own company so we went with her. Unfortunately even though we asked for her she sent someone who did mesh well with Carter very well. After a few lessons we insisted she be the instructor and he got in his last few lessons with someone who was much better at providing feedback. Carter did everything he could to get his license on the first try which based on others we've spoken to is not common. 

We had hight confidence in Carter's driving and both our kids have tried to get their license on time so that they could drive to school so we had no issue when it was time for his first solo drive. We had already made sure he knew the route and we have a policy where for the first few trips he has to text when he gets to his destination and when he leaves to come home. The fun part was that on his way to school he witnessed an accident as it happened. I of course always assume even if he wasn't in the accident that he might have influenced it but based on where the cars were and his testimony he had nothing to do with it. At least now he knows what happens when cars collide.
