| Your daughter is 16 now. She is growing up an becoming an adult. Along with this maybe you should back off her a little bit. Not trying to sound harsh here, but at 16 she need to be taking some responsibility for herself. If she can't remember or is too lazy to make sure she has the items in her car to be a safe responsible driver, then she should not be allowed to drive. However if she can prove that she is adult enough to ensure her (not to mention the other drivers on the road) safety, then you may want to let her take more control of her own life. How else will she learn to live on her own? Sorry, but the fact is that you won't be there for her forever, and 16 is plenty old enough to take responsibility for one's self.
