I know it is none of my business. But I don't understand

Any parent who lets their teen drive without a proper license/training is playing with fire.

These kids are not covered by insurance. If they get into an accident, it will be all on the parents to pay as it will not be covered under insurance. And that is only the financial responsibility. There is a reason that teens have laws/regulations governing when they can drive and with whom. Because they are not yet emotionally mature to understand consequences. God help these kids emotionally and physically if something happens to them, one of their passengers or another car.

In my state, you cannot get your license until you are 16.5. You get a permit at 16 and can only drive with a license driver. Even after you get your license at 16.5, you cannot drive any passengers except siblings under the age of 18 for 6 months. This is to give these new drivers time to adjust to driving and to learn how to block out passengers, distractions, etc.

I think many think that driving is easy and it is after doing it for decades. We know reaction time, how to deal with road conditions, etc. But new drivers don't have that "muscle memory" yet. These parents are foolish to think that their kids can handle this. Even the most responsible teen needs that adjustment period.

That’s insane. I would never let my kid drive unlicensed.

[Crystalina]

It is your business though. The public is at risk. Rat them out.

We did it but no one ever knew. I wouldn’t drive without a license now.

[QuantumNursing]

I would have called the cops and tow trucks

Those are shitty parents. wow. My kids are not driving until at least 16 and they have to show responsibility and good grades.

[Bubbs]

I wouldn’t do it, my kids need to show responsibility and go grades
My friend was driving us to school at 13. Her parents didn’t care what she did

I grew up in a town of 400. I used to take the car and drive around town (literally 4 blocks by 5 blocks);at 15, before and after I got my permit. I was dying to get behind the wheel! I did not leave town illegally though. But yeah, my.kids will be following the rules.

I drove for the first time when I was 12. I think my daughter might have been about that age the first time she tried to drive, but that was out in the middle of nowhere. I grew up on the farm, so I really dont see the issue. All of the kids I grew up with were driving way before it was time. Around here, it is common to see underage driving. I think there might have been a time or two my daughter's friends drove themselves over to the house. I was more concerned about whether or not they had permission to drive, than I was the legalities.

The parents don’t know. I’m always amazed at how much lying these goody goody kids with strict parents do lol.
