Driving somewhere

Son and others intend to go to the States in the long vacation at the end of third year university. They intend to hire a car, but son hasn't been able to drive since he passed his test years ago because he hasn't had access to an insured car. However, he wants to take his share of driving in the States. Now he is twenty-one he is statistically a safer driver than when he was younger, so despite being his worried mother, I guess he's okay.

Son and friend found a means of borrowing a car for a day, so they've been driving round at the weekend to various places. Son has taken the opportunity to practise driving and do his PassPlus sessions and today he and friend drove over here for Sunday lunch. Then son took me out for a Sunday afternoon drive, which was pleasant, despite the rain.

Now he's safely back in Oxford and I can stop worrying about him. (I know - he's safer in a car than on that b* bicycle of his!)
