This.  And most of them do not even get out of the MVA lot because they fail the parallel parking portion of the test - which they have to pass to even take the road test.

Besides that, the PP is right.  Once she passes, she will not be able to drive a non-family minor for the first 5-6 months of her provisional licesne period.  Honestly, parent to parent - you do want her to either. Having to mamage 2 kids while getting used to the spped and anticipation of actual driving is a bear.  If I were her parent, I would not chance it. [/quote]

The data is really tremendous on this point. Young passengers increase the already high crash rates for teens, and children are more likely to die in a crash if the driver is a teen. There are so many risks about driving you can't control (she has to be inexperienced at the beginning, you won't be there to monitor seat belt or phone use) Young passengers is the single biggest risk factor you can control.[/quote]
