I’ll never sleep again

So my son passed his driving test (first time like his father ;)

How will I ever sleep again knowing he is out there on the road?

I tried to insure him on the zed, but compare the market laughed at me. I could hear it! I was expecting a figure of 12k, but they wouldn’t even quote on it! ;)
 
Reminds me each time one of my daughters passed their test, every time my phone went I had butterflies, and with good reason, both had accidents in the first year. The youngest had three,my mate who owns a body shop loved me. In all there were four bumps but all minor,thank god. The youngest drives all over the UK with her job, but my heart still skips a beat if she rings me in the day :rofl: :thumbsup:

Remind me not to take the M6 Toll next time :D
 
you should be sleeping easy, that means you aren't sharing a road with him! But if you could let the rest of us know when he is on the road and where so we can avoid that area, that'd be great! :poke:

Well done him! :happyclap:

My daughter is taking her first one on Tuesday. I don't think she has a hope of passing but you never know!
In many ways I hope she fails; insurance will rocket by around £1,000 (guess who pays?) and I dread the thought of her being out on the roads on her own! For her's and everyone else's sake. :o
 
I'm sure our parents all felt the same when we passed our tests!

Maybe not being a parent has some benefits.

I have my grandson up next and I will get him on the road driving. I taught both my girls up to them having lessons with a driving instructor.
 
Tell O congratulations :thumbsup:

Enjoy your sleepless nights, we all have them for the same reason!

But you think you’ve got it hard, my friend had this to cope with this the other day :cry:

My boy asked me about the Z4 when he passed his test a few years ago, at least we got a quote :D

That makes me extremely sad! My daughter's twin brother never made it to the age of having a licence! :(

Yeah. That’s an accurate description of it! I’m ok with minor bumps. That’s normal I guess. Just don’t want a heavy nasty one. I’m very proud of him though and went for a long drive with him yesterday and he is cautious which makes me feel better, but I also know how awful everyone else drives!

Yeah but lessons and another test will cost the same! Wish her luck!

Wish you a long life my friend.
 
my daughter passed 7 years ago now and you still worry about them on the road. My son is 14 and he wants my Z when he is 17. I told him to do one as i hope to still have it and he has no chance of driving it.
 
Got three of them passed - SWMBO still panics where the girls drive anywhere more than 5ft from her apron string, I tell her they are old enough to get on with it now and to stop worrying, the youngest passed her test and drove to brum the same night so not afraid.

My lad was the one, he had written off 2 BMW's, a 120D and a 420D by the time he was 20 - although the 4 series wasnt his fault in any way shape or form.

He had a black box when he was 17 (Corsa) and I was the contact name on the insurance as he was away a lot with work, I got a call saying I had been noted as doing 110 on the m4/m5 interchange at 3am the previous morning, took me an age to realise it was my lad on his way home from work- he got a rocket and a half with that one.
 
My daughter passed her car driving test yesterday and I really can sleep more easily as it means she will spend less time on her motorbike!

I must admit I am a biker but would not be too happy if either of my kids wanted to ride (at least not yet).
