[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like a lot of you are advising your teens based on the presumption that an accident will involve someone trying to scam them/you. This is weird.

Most accidents are resolved via insurance. There is no scam. Teen drivers are involved in more accidents than older drivers because they aren't as good at driving.

If you are going to let your teenager drive a car, you need to prepare them (and yourself) for the possibility that they might get in an accident, that they could be at fault, and that they will need to be responsible and handle it legally.

Yes there are scammers out there but I've been driving for more than 35 years and have never encountered one. I've been in a handful of small fender benders and they've all been handled relatively easily via insurance. Teach your kids how to deal with that normal, typical situation.[/quote]

this is dumb, as a teen you should be taught to be on the look out for scammers, especially in this area where many don't have driver's licenses or are on parole etc. [/quote]
