Hey everybody! I'm looking to put together a "Top-10 Reasons to get a Driver's License" list. This is for a young woman in her 20's. She's married, has a teenage step-child living in the home, and doesn't live on a bus line or within walking distance to a store. Her husband works full time, yet she is entirely dependent on him for transportation.
Some reasons I have come up with:
What if there is an emergency in the middle of the day? Calling your nearest living relatives is not always a reasonable answer when they live 40 minutes away.
If you can drive, you can do the shopping while your husband is at work. This way you will have more time together when he gets home and on his days off, instead of having to do the shopping then.
If you can drive, you could get a part-time job.
If you can drive, your teenage step-son can participate in after-school activities or in his church youth group. Right now he comes straight home from school every day and does nothing but homework, TV, and video games.
If you can drive, you could join a club or participate in activities at the church or volunteer at the school.
If you can drive, you have the freedom to get out of your house and go where you want to go, when you want to go.
I know that you all must have some other ideas/opinions. Let me hear them!

I would say, you have to do it because you have to depend on yourself....always. In this day and age, a woman should NEVER leave themselves vunerable and dependent upon a man. Independence will only make her a stronger woman.
she needs to drive for herself. She will feel this is one of her biggest steps she has taken in her life. So go girlfriend and drive!!!!!!!!!
tell her she needs to learn so we don't think she is refusing just to keep her family tied into a poor me scenario.
