Driving Hours

In Kansas, new drivers have to have 50 hours of driving time, 10 of which are at night.

Isaac completed his driving hours finally (after over a year of effort to squeeze it in) the week before our school started, over a month after he turned 18. Now he has begun his Senior year and is still working toward the goal of driving. He now needs to go through the paces with his daddy to make sure he'll pass the driving portion of the test. He got a new Kansas Driving Handbook today to study for the written part. Then he will get his adult license and enter the adult world of car insurance payments.

Seth, at 16 years old, had his first driving lesson today. He did well. Only 49 1/2 hours left! When he completes his driving practice and tests, he'll be the youngest driver we've had out of all 4 boys. We're a little slow around here. Seriously though, they have to have a job to afford the insurance and just got one in May. So, they couldn't have afforded to drive before that anyway. I'm looking forward to passing this particular milestone. It is a lot of work for a mama.
