re: Question for parents of driving aged kids:

I just did this in mid June. It really wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be. We had been practicing for quite a bit while she had her permit (10 months), so I was confident in her skills. Still needs some practice in parking lots, but on the road, she is good. First time with just her and her brother was a little freaky though.
As for the insurance, mine went from $130 a month for my wife and I (4 cars) to $270, and this includes a couple of discounts. I knew it was going to jump so I was not too shocked.
