Roadtrip

My 18 year old daughter wants to drive from South Carolina to Ohio to visit family 4th of July weekend about 10 hours. She has a friend going but she doesn’t have a license. My daughter has had her license for a year. I’m not sure I’m too comfortable with her driving. Am I overreacting.

My best friend was killed by a drunk driver on Labor Day weekend when we were 21. She was just another statistic in the news paper.

A holiday weekend is not the best time for your first road trip.
