So umm...help?

I agree with what pylon is saying, but this is a pretty poor time and place to voice it.

Glad he made it home safe

If it's so bad out there he can't really see, get him pulled to the shoulder and make himself as visible as possible. If only to calm down for 10 or 15 minutes. Or to wait a while to see if conditions improve. No sense in driving worked up and nervous.

If they have Whatsapp (messaging application), you can download that and have them send you their location in that application which maps it out for you to see.

Also, they can open Google Maps which should show their location, ask them to take a screen shot of that map and send it to you.

Glad he is safe. Whether you are 10, 20, 30 or 40, you should always feel comfortable and not ashamed to call your parents for any kind of help - whether its something you should have known how to handle or not.

Parents are unique in that they'll always be available for help without question regardless of your situation - A son's age never crosses a parents mind and never should.

In fact, he is lucky that his parents are there to attend his calls - some are not privileged enough to have anyone to call.

What an odd thread for someone to step on a soapbox over
