How long do I have to wait before I can drive with my friends?
Javier Inquires: Yo Jonny - I just got my license - when can I start driving with my friends in the car?
"Yo" Javier - if you are a minor, you've got to wait a full 12 months (i.e. one year) before you can have anyone under the age of 20 as the sole passenger in your car. Simple as that. And take it from me, you don't want distractions in the car anyway.
They say ("they" being the masters of the universe) that you are 10 times more likely to get into a car accident during the first 500 miles of your driving life. And I have to admit, I am guilty of
getting to an accident within the first week that I had my license. Why? Because my friend McGivern in the passenger seat was distracting me with his antics, causing me to run a red light.
If only I had a 'Jonny Driving School' to guide me when I was a new driver...
Hope that helps.
Until next time Javier, drive alone, don't drive between 11pm and 5am, and drive distraction free!
