This site has been great - my son has been living on his own and going to the University and doing very well. He has been there about a year and has landed a job tutoring - I'm extremely proud.
He gets around on his bike and uber etc - no car.
When he was living with us he was driving all the time except for periods after a seizure. He does have a seizure about once very 6 months it seems.
In AZ the Rule - is pretty much (from what I recall) either 3 months or 6 months free with Dr's permission (we always went 6 mos)- doesn't seem to be very rigid. The DR was always like - sure - he should be good.
Anyhow - he has a great driving record - but isn't currently driving.
Onto my question - I told him I'd give him my car should he Graduate. I'm concerned about that now. He is an adult 25 - but if something happens it could be really bad for him.
I feel I should give him money instead - let him decide - buy a car or just use the money for transportation. Car + insurance + maintenance is fairly expensive and he would be on the hook for it.
What does a parent do?
Thanks for your help.
PS - also is this the correct forum for such a question? doesn't seem right for an adult man "nursery" - but none of the headings seemed applicable for a fathers question. Admin please move if it makes sense.
