Even that depends on where she gets a job and what the route there is like. I passed my test at 18 but went to Uni in that there London. I didn't have a car until I was about 26 and I didn't really *need* a car until I met my wife and we settled down in no-public-transport-of-any-useful-nature-ville.Well.....that's on the cards too. MrsF has said 'daughter needs a car' - she's passed her test but has no desire to drive at all - doesn't need too, for at least another 18 months (at University) but job access....
