Casual Group Dating for the Non-licensed Drivers

G'day Bro Jo,

This question technically no longer affects me, but I thought I'd ask anyway.

When going on a casual group date, is it ok to ask your parents to drive you and your group around? The reason I ask is because in this part of Australia people can't drive unsupervised until they turn 18 (which I recently did, hence it no longer affecting me) and our public transport is about as good as a mud hut for shelter during a tsunami- it's often late and doesn't always get you where you need to go without several changes.

I just can't see how youth are going to get around with dodgy public transport and can't drive themselves.

Thanks,

The Admiral




G'day, Admiral,

I see no problem with parents or an older friend / neighbor / Church member / sibling helping with the transportation; I think it's a great idea!

Just so long as the chauffeur doesn't allow back-seat tonsil hockey . . .

Of course, now that you're a licensed driver, the chauffeur may be you!

Great question.

    When I was younger, I had a girlfriend who lived about an hour away. I didn't have a car, so I got rides from either her mom or mine, and my mom would always tell us that she needed to be able to look in the mirror and see daylight between us.
