[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm from the Midwest so I got my DL really young - age 14 (the law exists to accommodate farm kids that need to drive farm equipment).

By 16, I was an incredibly reckless driver. I stayed that way until at least 25. My problem wasn't drinking and driving, but speed. Teens feel invincible.

It is possible that this tragedy could have occurred even without alcohol. [/quote]

I agree with this.  I was also an incredibly reckless drive until about age 25.  Yes, teens feel invincible.  Have no idea what a good solution is.  [/quote

I wasn't. I started at 15.  But it is all very dependent on the kid and his/her personality.    The friends I lost in high school and college?  I lost like this.   The friends who killed people in high school and college?  They killed people like this.   I hate it.

My plan for my kid is a particular local driving course that focuses on defensive driving.   Then their skid course to learn how to manage the car out of skids.   And then a refresher driving course after a year or two.    And put them in the safest car I can afford.   I don't mean giving them a car.  I mean the car they have access to.  [/quote]
