Her reasoning is ridiculous, I understand why she would be worried, however I also realize that I am more likely to get hit by a car where I live. I am constantly being passed by cars here in SE Wisconsin, the trip I had planned to Northern Wisconsin would involve periods of probably a half hour where I may only see one car. Any suggestions to sway her decision would be very helpful, I cannot think of anything else that may coax her into letting me go. I will be 18 years of age by the time the trip would come around, however if I just left for the trip, that would create hostility amongst my family. Thanks! -Dave
