Does this make me a helicopter mom
Your not a helicopter mom. School traffic and someone inexperienced driving in heavy rain is a bad combination.
So true. The best way to learn is to jump right into extreme co diction just two days after you get your license. What kind of psychopath parent wouldn’t let their kid just take their lives into their own hands like that? Who would both supervising a 16 year old while driving in the rain? Surely talking it through briefly beforehand is all she needs, no reason to think any young teen would be irresponsible or act recklessly.Anonymous 2 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 11, 2019 8:59 am How is she ever going to learn to drive in rain if she never drives in rain??? Yes helicopter mom!
What, does the OP think it would be smarter to like wait until there was a more regular amount of rain before letting her kid drive in it alone? Helicopter!! I’ve, white-out blizzard, hurricane? Go for it! You’ve gotta learn some time! Good luck, kid!

Yes you are a helicopter mom. Once I got my license I was one my own and figured it all out myself. My son will do the same. That's what having a license means - your ready to do it on your own.

No it doesn't. I'd only let her drive if I were in the car to give instruction if needed but if the rain is so bad the driver can't see the car in front of them, really it's a bad idea to be on the road at all. Someone who has been driving for less than a year has no business driving in that without at least an experienced driver in the car as well.
