Why cant my father let me drive?

<p>

When I went home, I asked my father to repair my brother’s car, so I could take the test, and he asked me to give him $200 and I said okay, then he added that I should just wait when he is not busy.

After all this why would you ask your father to repair your brother’s car so you could get a license? You know that’s just an opportunity for him to say “no” and hold one more thing over your head. You’re just playing into his control when you ask him to do everything like this. Take care of these issues like fixing the brake light yourself. Be independent.</p>

<p>btw - A brake light bulb is usually <$10 and is very easy to replace - your brother or you should be able to do it. He needs to fix it anyway. Is it really your brother’s car or is it your father’s car that he lets your brother drive?</p>

<p>IMO you also need to not let your father micromanage the clubs, etc. you join on a college campus.</p>
