I need advice..teen car trip [View All]

[cally]

My 16 year old wants to go on a car trip over winter break. The weather is not great and she can expect frequent road closures. She has never driven for a long distance. Yes, she is paying her share by working for her money.

She has planned it with three friends. I like all her friends, but I know that these three, with my daughter leading, are rebellious. I would have been furious at my own parents if they were concerned about this, but I'm worried about four beautiful young women travelling alone without enough understanding of personal safety.

I would say no to the trip except I went on trips as soon as I turned 16. My husband went on road trips when he was 15 and a half. Since we shared our stories, I don't think I can say no. So I need advice on the rules. Have others done this.
