First of all parents decisions don't always seem fair to us. We think they are being "over protective" when they are just doing what most good parents do. He probably just worries about you if you got into a car wreck or something similar to that. It doesn't matter what kind of driver the person you're wanting to ride with is he's also worried about all the other teenage drivers out there. True you could just as well be in a wreck with your dad but teenagers ARE less experienced drivers than your father. All that you can really do is just keep talking to him, in a mature manner of course. Tell him the reasons you should be riding with your friend [ reasons you want to ] and show him that you are mature and responsible enough to do so. Good Luck! I hope everything works out!

that happened to me a while ago.
in my case i just sat my parents down and told em everything i feel about what they are fdoing what what ever. it just got to the point where i got so pissed i told em everything about them and the issue.
you can try my aproach and see if it works for you, just dont go a lil to far. try to reason with your dad and prove to him that the things that are happening arent bad for you.
after our conversation me and my parents started to have a slightly different relationship but it helped me. i can do what ever i want and no one cares now that its about 2 years after
hope this help, and if you deside to use this remember not to over do it.

your dad has a point, but so do you. There are a lot of older people that aren't good people, but your dad shouldnt judge her before meeting her. I think you should talk to your dad and ask him to meet here, instead of just convincing him your right.
