Question

ok so im 18 years old and my dad had ALWAYS BEEN against me driving i passed my permit test like last year or even sooner and he finally let me get my permit this past august. ok so both my parents and my sister refused to take me driving, and my moms bf thought hed look like a good guy and took me out 2 days in a row. he hates me and made up a story about how i went through a stop sign lol. surpringly though i drove great for my first 2 times driving. only thing i had trouble with was the burger king drivethru lol. so anyway i have a full time job and am saving 800 dollars for a toyota camry i saw in running condition. i will use this car to practice my driving with an adult i know that trusts me behind the wheel. the problem is my dad thinks i am psychotic still and says that if i buy the car i am going to be kicked out of thge house. what do i do? i am trapped in this house anbd feel like a prisoner. i will be starting college next year (community) and need a commuter car. as it i

also hes making me pay for my own insurance which will be astronomical and registration too and he wont tell me how to do it

Answer 1

Would love to help, but , bummer the big but part , your Dad knows you better than we do. Why would he think your psychotic? Its hard to believe they are all wrong and your completely right. Any ways in Texas when your 18 you can get your own DL and buy your own insurance and i figure its that way in most U.S cities, first you need a job, prove your responsiblity to your parents, get some insurance for this 800 buck car that will be a major money pit an be dead soon. This part is the bad part, welcome to adulthood.

Answer 2

I assume that your parents live apart as she has a boyfriend.

So both parents and your sister didn't want to drive w. you? The boyfriend drives with you and "makes up a story". You would think he would say that you were fine if he wanted to look good. Your Dad does not want you on his insurance and presumably your mother could agree for you to be on hers.

But your Dad did break down and let you get a permit. No offense but it sounds like you burnt a whole lot of bridges along the way. What is making so many to be against you?

You Dad has obviously drawn a line in the sand for some reason. Do you come and go at all hours or sleep until noon? Do you help around the house without being asked? You work full time. What do you spend money on and who is paying for school? Do you buy groceries and make dinner once in awhile. Or Dad.... it's not much but I want to pay whatever utility bill. Or do you blow cash on silly stuff?You get the idea.

Are you going to be able to work, pay for school and pay to live somewhere? I think you need to radically make some changes, sit down w. each parent and figure out what THEY want. It will require a bit of butt kissing but it will be better than the alternative.

Answer 3

Well, the world is a little bit more letigitous than when I grew up, and I wasn't in sunny California as I am now,....a state catering seemingly to fivolous lawsuits and sue crazy idiots.
However, I use to pay only for liability...I think that is still the minimum insurance that you are allowed to get. It won't help you out much if your in a wreck and lose the car due to damage, but it covers your legal obligations.
I do'nt know what your level of maturity is or if you are psychotic or if that's an exaggerated view from a bad parent that is domineering and controlling.
So, what I can only say is, its a shame you can't sit them down and say "Hey, i need this for school and work" and work something out.
If you truely think there's nothing wrong with you, and they are adimantly against this, throwing altimatums at you, then you might want to consider striking out on your own (I know, its scarey) and living your own life. I did it, it wasn't easy, but it was a way to make things work out...because later I visited them, told them that I was sorry it had to be this way, but look at what a great guy i've become ).
If they don't accept you after that point of proving yourself, then you are probably better off without them. ya, I know, they are family, hard to cut family off, but they aren't ready for you. They are the one's lacking.
On the other hand, if you are a psycho...you'll probably do something wrong and end up in jail...which is a free 3 squares so you'll still be on your own...just in a worse way.
I'd just like to remind you that statistically, its the first 2 years of driving when young people tend to get into wrecks. So do'nt take chances when drinking or overy exhausted.

Answer 4

If you have a permit you can drive. Being new means that insurance will charge. But if you're a careful responsible driver the cost will go down. Say "sod off" to your parents ;-)

Answer 5

You have a full time job and need to be your own man, so it's time to move out. Look for a reliable roommate to share an apartment with.

Answer 6

You're 18, and an adult.

You have two choices, you live in his house and follow his rules, or you get out, pay your own way, and live by your own rules.

Answer 7

Their house, their rules. IF you don't like it, move out.

And, if you own a car, you SHOULD pay for insurance and all other expenses....that's what an adult does.
