Teaching a teenager to drive is as much a rite of passage for the parent as it is for the kid. But who does it better? Mom or dad?

In their very unscientific poll of 1,387 adults, 52 percent said fathers were better at the difficult task, while only 24 percent thought moms were better at the job.

This is clearly not a scientific study, or even anything beyond a controversy starter, but it’s funny that people are always trying to figure out which parent is “better” at one thing or another. I can’t even imagine this one really comes down to a sex difference.

Well, I can only speak from our experience. My husband taught both my son and daughter to drive. For one thing, I’d make them nervous as I am nervous when someone else is driving. And, besides, it was a good time for Dad to spend some time with each one of the kids. Mom is home all day with them, so this provided some one-on-one time for dad and kids.
I vote dad!
