Woohoo, Cameron is now a licensed driver! Admittedly he was eligible 2 years ago and his lack of desire to get this card has been a bit confusing to us. Then yesterday with the very patient Jim taking him out before his test, and the use of this student vehicle instead of our larger truck to take his exam he passed with only one point missed on his scorecard - YAY!!!
As I said the lack of excitement to aquire his license has been something I just can't relate to. I was the polar opposite. At 15 as soon as I was eligible for it my permit was in my hand. Then on my 16th birthday I pulled up to the DMV in mom and dad's Vista Cruiser station wagon and got my license. Even stranger is Cameron is not alone in his peer group. I'm amazed at the number that are his age and share the same lack of enthusiasm. He is relieved to have done well, we knew he could.
So another one down and 7 more years until Hannah is eligible to begin this process- Oh my, if her current excursions in her Barbie Jeep are an example of what's to come WATCH OUT WORLD!!
Way to go Cameron!!! Just make sure you don't go picking up any girls with that new found freedom!! :) And remember to be careful!
ReplyDeleteToo funny! Passed on your warnings to him. Thanks. : )
DeleteI am 24, and according to Indian rules one is eligible for license by 18...well, I hate the pressure of driving especially through the mad chaos of Indian cities and hence lack of enthusiasm. The feeling that I can survive even without a vehicle at my disposal stops me getting my license...Love your blog, Iv gone through each and every post in the archive...:)
ReplyDeleteThank you soooo much that is sweet and I appreciate the positive feedback. When I was 19 I was in New Delhi, India and the streets there made me really nervous to just be a passenger in a car. So I truly don't blame you for choosing to walk!! : )
DeleteHahaha! I will watch out for the Barbie Jeep! :) Congratulations on a huge milestone.
