[quote=Anonymous]Driving ability and experience matter. Who is the best, most experienced driver?  Is Grandpa a former long-haul trucker? Is Grandma retired from the protective division of the Secret Service?  If somebody has credentials like that, give them the “good” car, and there you go.  The kids belong in the “good” car regardless who is driving.  Another option if you’re set on driving the kids yourself is to ask the grandparents to take the lead on child care after you arrive. Then they and the kids get plenty of fun together anyway.

It’s not at all unusual for parents to want to be their kids’ only driver. People have different values and resources. Some people are professionally trained drivers with a million miles or more under their belts. Others have limited highway experience or are prone to distractions. Some people buy cars because the car is cute or affordable. Some are almost willing to take a second mortgage for better safety. The best driver in a super car is st the mercy of the reckless idiots on the road, subject only to the driver’s trained reactions and the crash worthiness of the vehicle. [/quote]
