[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Absolutely not. I wouldn’t let a kid have a driver’s license until they were 18 too. Worked in ER/trauma too many years, seen too many tragedies. At 16, kids make bad decisions, get distracted and don’t understand the reality of consequences. Last thing for a 16 year old’s safety you want to do is gift them with a new car to show off in. If you love them, let them wait, gain a little more maturity. [/quote] That is a really bad idea to wait till 18. Most kids move away to college at 18 and will not get the driving experience then. At 16, they have two years of driving monitored by parents. A new car isn't the issue. Parents need to monitor and teach safe driving. Now its so much easier as cars have built in parental monitors in new cars or you can buy a chip to do it. Not all 16 year olds are bad drivers. Just like not all 30 year olds are good drivers.[/quote]
