I know we can't always know for sure that our kids are testing before driving. But you can sure insist on it during the practise driving period (a year in Ontario), just like seatbelts. As far as I'm concerned, driving without testing and having supplies in the car is in the same ballpark as driving after drinking -- it's not just yourself you may be hurting, but other people. Not OK.

There are a couple of stories on this forum, if you can find them, of people who had some very frightening near-miss experiences becoming disoriented after going low while driving. You might dig them up and have your daughter read them. Because, you know, it's so easy at that age to just think, "I'm fine. Nothing's going to happen!"
