Help. I’m afraid she’s going to get hurt!

Dd17 has her permit. We’ve been practicing driving for almost 2 years now. She is doing really really well despite the fact that she is blind in her right eye. She’s also had drivers ed. We just scheduled her driving test for July 5. How do I get past the anxiety of letting her drive?

I should mention that her older sister(21) had 3 accidents in her first year of driving. I think that’s what is causing me so much stress. I just want to drive her around for the rest of her life(not really)

Is there anyway to make this easier?

My oldest just turned 13. Driving isn’t even on my radar.

Careful. It’ll be here before you know it.

I think all you can do is just go for it and hope for the best. Remind yourself this - just because one got in a few fender benders does not mean the other will.

I've been offering to let my 14, almost 15 yr old to take a crack at driving my Beastie (in an empty parking lot). As soon as I explained she'd be handling 3300 lbs of steel and plastic, she refused, LOL.

It’s so freaking scary. Jordyn has to co-op out next year (senior year) which means she has to drive to the local college a few times a week. I’m starting college next year so I’m not going to be able to drive her. I’m so scared I’m having panic attacks over here lol

I think it's a normal parent thing to worry about their child driving. You've done all the things right. Driving with her, taking drivers ed. Just keep practicing with her, and talk to her. Does she have restrictions regarding driving? Like no driving at night?

Former bass player in hubby's band. His wife was blind in one eye. She doesn't drive at night because of it. I've been in the car with her in the past. She's a very safe driver.

Have you driven with her?
Do you think she is capable?
You just have to let go a little and see what happens.

The only restriction other than wearing her glasses is she can’t drive a car without all 3 mirrors. I guess there were older cars that only had two? I didn’t know this.

Jordyn has better vision in her one eye that the rest of us in our two eyes. If you met her, you’d never know she was blind in the eye. It looks like lazy eye occasionally. She aces vision tests.

Yes of course. I didn’t have such a hard time with my oldest. I don’t know what is going on with me and her.
