Ryan has had his driving license for almost three years with no ticket or accident. Some people expressed concerned about a young, autistic adult driving. According to Safety Insurance Company's website, "Nationwide, 43% of first-year drivers and 37% of second-year drivers are involved in car crashes." Ryan beat those statistics. Even after the accident, I'm glad we encouraged Ryan to learn how to drive.
Of course, Ryan was shaken and now has a new respect regarding his vulnerability and driving. It's scary out on the road, from his perspective and mine. He has learned many life-lessons. Sometimes, experience is the best teacher.
