My 15-y-o daughters (no shun) are bad drivers.

They have their learners but are nowhere near ready to go on public streets. Drove in the subdivision with one daughter today. Constantly veering to the right and almost clipped a few mailboxes with the mirror. Conceptually doesn’t grasp how to drive in reverse. Takes left turns way too tight and would’ve hit an oncoming car if there was one. Didn’t feel comfortable driving more than 10 mph. And my wife says the other daughter is worse. We have a long way to go.
