Is this, or is this not, a foolish idea?
My boyfriend is 20. I am an 18 year old female. We've been inseparable for longer than one and a half years. We do have a long distance relationship, but aside from the painful mileage between us, I couldn't be happier.
I am going to see him this weekend, but he does not have a current license. He was planning on driving without one, and he wasn't going to tell me that part. I just found out, and I am devastated. He thought he would "surprise" me. I am not "surprised". I am appalled that he would put me in this situation. Can you just imagine all of the guilt I would carry around should he get busted? And my God, what would be his consequences?
I (politely and appropriately, mind you) flat out refused to see him under those conditions, and it led to one of the most detrimental arguments we've ever had. I've tried telling him not to worry about seeing me, and that I will completely understand if we don't get to meet up. I've also repeatedly offered to take a city bus or gladly pay for a taxi. He will have none of that. He is just so stubborn. How can I talk him out of this mistake!?
And do you agree with me that this is not worth the risk, or do you believe I am making too much of this? I am pretty positive that I have made up my mind, but some support and/or opinions would be exceptionally dandy.
Thank you, YG.

I'm curious why he doesn't have his license. That alone could be a reason not to get in a car with him! So if it is an issue of how he drives you definitely don't take a risk.
If he lives in a large town he could probably drive and not be caught. Small town, they probably know him and it would be harder to get away with it. I really doubt that you can talk him out of driving if that is what he wants to do. He probably does it all the time whether you are there or not. Its a guy thing. Driving is a guys big...I'm a man now thing!
I'm with you. I wouldn't want to cause him to commit a crime. Should he have an accident he could be paying for it for years to come.
People are sue happy and make a mistake while not having a license or not having insurance and the trouble can go a lot further than just a simple ticket. Try explaining that to him because it might get through to him better than anything else. :)
