Summary
I would like to offer a brief response to the letter, "Educate young drivers" (BDN, Feb. 3), by Tracey Field, of Brewer, saying it is ludicrous to give a teenager without winter driving experience a license. Having a license doesn't give a teen the ability to take the family car out of the driveway. Having the keys does. It is parents who must decide whether their teen should be given the keys and allowed to drive in any situation.
As to her suggestion that driver education courses be seasonally split to require both summer and winter driving, I do not see this as very practical. The splitting of the course would be disruptive to learning. Furthermore, even if two weeks of winter driving were scheduled, there is no guarantee there would be a snowstorm in that time.See the full content of this document
