I get the sense that the Abbott's didn't truly know Colin and he did, like you said, made them believe he was this wonderful guy. It is ironic that Harold was initially so critical of Ephram yet probably knew very little about Colin. |

what I don't understand is why they give people driving licences at 16 in the US. Most kids are way too young to understand the implications of what they're doing at that age!

That’s a great point. There’s a reason why you can’t vote, gamble in many states until you’re 18. But I think it also depends on the person. My niece is very mature for her age so when she got her license at 16, she was more than ready. She’s 18 now and acts 21/22, very mature. I personally felt ready at 16 and had zero problems but I know plenty of people who weren’t ready. There’s probably more not ready than are ready. Betty, I didn’t know it was 17 in NJ! I figured it’s 16 everywhere!

Here we can get it at 18. I went for mine at 19. Sure I was able to drive, but thinking back I now know I was rather reckless/careless at that age even so 16 for me is mindboggling.

When I was a kid in New Jersey, we got our driver licenses at 17 with no restrictions. I didn't really start driving until I was 19 and I had my first car though. My parents hardly ever let me drive their car. I was a pretty irresponsible driver when I was young, but I was fortunate that I never got any tickets or into an accident back then.

I just think it varies depending on the person. Like I said, my niece Anna could have had her license at 15 driving on her own and she would have been fine. At 16 when I got mine I felt like I had been waiting forever. It really depends on the person. Plus, grown adults can drive like maniacs without cognitively realizing what they are doing. Let alone the drinking and driving. It really depends on the person.
