I think that L got distracted from getting his permit because he realized that he wasn't going to be able to really drive before leaving for college anyway (he wouldn't have had enough practice months under his belt). Anyway, he didn't jump on it and now it's too late because I made one phone call.
Just kidding, but I did speak with our insurance company yesterday and they told us that it would cost us $1620.00 EXTRA a year (on top of the $1,700 per year we already pay) to insure him to drive the family cars. That is, we weren't asking about insuring him and his OWN car... which he won't get from us anyway.
We don't have to pay anything if he gets just his permit (when we always have to accompany him in the car).
So, we've decided to let him get a permit as long as he can have it and practice until NEXT summer when he'll get his license and we'll start shelling out the bucks for the privilege of lending him our car.
Seriously though, if it saves us from the boring boring driving and waiting of this summer, we'll do it.
On the bright side, now I can look at all my driving duty this summer as though it were a paying job. Procrastination pay! Ha ha!
