Parents, Patch wants to hear from you on the questions that get families talking.
Is there anything more harrowing than the day when you first hand over the keys to your brand-new teen driver, the same one who it seems like just yesterday was still biking with training wheels?
It's not uncommon for parents to set some restrictions on their newly-minted leadfoots, so we took to our Facebook pages to find out what the laws on this are in some Barrington-Lake Zurich households. Which brings us to this week's question:

"Seatbelts-always."
"My parents made me sign a contract. Had to drive 1,000 miles before I had any passengers in the car, had to pull over to change my CD or radio station, no texting, and had to pull over to answer my phone. If I was found violating any rules they took my license away and I had to pay them back."
"If you get arrested for what ever reason, you are on your own!"
