Parents keep forcing me to drive

Hello everyone. So this has been bugging me for a while now but my dad keep forcing me to drive. Like wherever we go, he will tell me to drive all the time. I don't know why he does this. I have my license, im 17, and i have been driving for a long time now so it's not like i need the practice. I can drive just fine. I just don't feel like driving all the time but if i tell him i dont want to, he yells and gets upset and ruins whatever plans we had by being a little cry baby. What can i do to make him stop forcing me to drive?

It should be fine dude, just drive, your parents are probably worried about how you would drive alone, so they're looking after you, while you drive.

@MapleFacez: Tell them to stop being bipolar with the mixed signals and be definite on things: school or driving practice?

[quote=MapleFacez]I don't have a car. They keep forcing me to take them wherever and their excuse is that i need practice. But it's been a year and i don't need to practice anymore. I can drive just fine. Like im trying to do my summer assignments or whatever and they make me take them places.. i can't get any work done or anything it's ridiculous.[/quote]

[quote=Schokoshake]You don't like driving? I refuse to be driven by my parents, particularly my mum since her driving always makes me sick. It's probably easier for your parents to be a passenger, plus they most likely paid for your car and its insurance, so it isn't entirely out of the question of them to request rides. Perhaps, before your parent asks, talk to him/her about making a compromise, that driving every single time is driving you nuts.[/quote]
