However UNintentional it may be, parents are completely enabling this HIGH risk activity of the kids driving.

[b]Few families have a truly dire need for a 16 or 17 year old to be driving. But most every mom and dad wants their kid to be the cool kid in high school with a car.[/b]

We should rethink this mentality.

Unless you can be in two, three or four places at once, this is not true if you have multiple children and they are involved in activities.  [/quote]
I'm sorry, which activity is worth risking your kid's life?
Let's not kid ourselves here. It's a HUGE risk.[/quote]

Sweet Jesus.  How old are your kids?  Because my son is 17.  He has a job.  He drives himself to sports- for example Legion baseball doesn't have buses, kids carpool and travel together, sometimes up to an hour away.  He takes his girlfriend out on dates.  He's going shopping today to buy her an gift- kinda tough when both parents work.

Listen- my kid is moving out of our house in about 14 months.  If you honestly think you can foster independence by keeping him in bubble wrap until he's 18, I will strongly disagree.  Driving a car has very little to do with being the "cool kid".  [/quote]
The real question is, does he drive himself to drinking parties?[/quote]
