She got her driving license. Of course, we older, more experienced folks realize that it is more than a license to drive a car. It is also an ID for air travel and for many other forms of accepted identification, that is, documented verification of name, age and some other variables.
We have four greatgrandchildren and two of them now have driver's licenses and are permitted to operate large, heavy vehicles that travel at high speeds. These vehicles allow drivers to reach points well beyond walking and even biking distances. Plus, cars can easily carry quite large loads that are too heavy and bulky to carry by hand.
We hope the new driver uses good sleep habits and steadily stays alert to learning what other drivers, wild animals such as deer, and road conditions are up to.
